An atlas is defined as a bound collection of maps, charts, plates or tables illustrating a subject. In addition to being about geography, they can illustrate any number of subjects, from anatomy or botany to history or zoology.
Atlases are used in a variety of contexts, most commonly for geographical studies, navigation and education. They can also be used in other fields like science and history.
The Ozuna Library holds a vast atlas collection. An atlas stand is located in the west end of the 2nd floor in the Ozuna Library building and additional atlases are located in the stacks.
