Abstracting and Indexing Databases:
Review posted on Ulrich's site:

An interesting example of a privately issued electronic journal. As described in the mission statement of the journal, "The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography and mathematics." Articles are scholarly in presentation, with clear illustrations and charts. A number of the articles are written by the editor; the editorial advisory board lists individuals from throughout the country. Libraries should review and consider adding this to their collection of electronic journals.
