Dear Colleague
BARTHOLOMEW DIGITAL MAPS ON CD-ROM
CHEST is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with
HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd (Bartholomew) for the provision of
Bartholomew Digital Maps on CD-ROM to Institutions within Higher and
Further Education.
In addition to the databases provided under a Site Licence Agreement
(see Mailing 6/95), Bartholomew is now offering Digital Maps of Great
Britain and London on CD-ROM, containing more detailed data (including
Raster data) not supplied in the products covered by the Site Licence
Agreement.
The CD-ROMs are offered to sites as separate products and a licence for
the full Digital Data is NOT a pre-requisite for the purchase of the
CD-ROMs, although existing licensees will receive a preferential
discount in recognition of the fact that they are already licensed for
the vector data.
The offer is valid until 19th March 2000. Sites wishing to become
licensed will be required to complete a Commitment to Participate Form
and a CHEST/Bartholomew CD-ROM Order Form (attached) listing the
product(s) required. On receipt of the above forms, CHEST will
distribute the media.
Licence generation will be carried out by CHEST upon receipt of a
licence request form generated from the CD-ROM following installation
at the licensed site.
Full details of this Offer are given in the attached Overview, and
product brochure. Sample data can be viewed at Bartholomew web site:

3. Background Detail / Community Evaluation
The current Agreement between CHEST and Bartholomew provides a collection
of Digital Maps, which are offered for use until 19th March 2000.
This additional offer is for the provision of CD-ROMs containing
more detailed data (including Raster data) not supplied in the products
covered by the Site Licence Agreement.
The CD-ROMs are offered to sites as separate products and a licence for
the full Digital Data is NOT a pre-requisite for the purchase of the
CD-ROMs, although existing licensees will receive a preferential
discount in recognition of the fact that they are already licensed for
the vector data. Sites which have an earlier version of the GB CD-ROM
(v1.0) will receive a discount on their master GB CD-ROM, if they
upgrade through joining this offer.
Prior to the negotiations with CHEST, the GB CD-ROM had already been
offered at discount to the Academic Community and a number of sites
have taken advantage of this special pricing. Bartholomew now wishes
to make the CD-ROMs available on more cost effective terms through a
lower pricing structure, subject to the distribution and licence
generation being handled by CHEST.

1. Bartholomew GB maps 1:250,000 including Postcode
boundaries option

vector database in MapInfo, ArcView, Atlas GIS and AutoCAD formats, including:
* County boundaries (regional boundaries for Scotland)

* Primary routes
* A and B roads
* 27,000 settlements
* Postcode area boundaries (e.g. BA using the Bath University Post Code
BA2 7AY).
Postcode district and sector boundaries (e.g. BA2 7), available on
the CD-ROM, are at extra cost.
The London CD-ROM includes Greater London and Central London Street
Gazetteer Raster data at 1:20,000. Central London data can be
purchased separately, if required.

The matching colour raster backdrops are in standard TIFF format, and
comprise 256 colour raster tiles with their associated real world
co-ordinate files.

386 processor, Windows NT, Windows 95 or Windows 3.1, 4Mb of RAM and a
minimum of 25Mb of free hard disk capacity, a CD-ROM drive and
application software to use one of the data formats.
To improve the performance of the raster image display, it will be
necessary to copy the data from the CD-ROMs on to a hard disk which
will require access to approximately 1Gb of free disk space if the
whole of the country is required.
8. Year 2000 Compliance
This is raw data and is not date reliant. Sites are advised to ensure
that any software used to manipulate the data is Year 2000 Compliant.
9. Institution Evaluation
Sample vector data sets and raster maps can be accessed from Bartholomew web
page:
http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/~barts_twr/down.html
Providing you are running one of the requisite database formats (MapInfo
or ArcInfo), you can use this data to assess the quality and suitability of
the data.
10. Licence Type
Normal CHEST terms and conditions of use. The CD-ROMs may be copied to
hard disk for network use at any Licensed Institution and for use by
any member of staff or student in accordance with the standard "Code of
Conduct" for the Use of Software or Datasets (see "11. Personal
Licences" below).
11. Personal Licences
Personal licences are not available under this offer. However, sites may
purchase unencrypted copies of the CD-ROMs for loan to staff and
students for running on their home machines. See "Pricing" for cost of
loan copies. Sites are reminded that in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the licence the Licensed Site is responsible for taking
reasonable steps to ensure that all data from loaned copies is removed
