IOWA
University -- the following compilation of Internet/WWW sites is intended to be
an introductory guide to some of the map and reference resources available via the World
Wide Web. Consider using one of the WWW search engines if you are looking for a specific
type of map or reference.
The maps which are listed here have been selected because they are thought to be
reasonably useful and/or interesting. They are categorized by geographical region although
there are a couple of thematic categories such as Interactive Maps
which both highlights the potential of the WWW and are also fun to use. Note that there is
some overlap in geographic coverage between these categories.
The emphasis is on displayable maps (e.g. images) rather than digital cartographic (GIS)
and satellite data which can be found in the separate compilation Geodata Information Sources.
There is also another listing which includes Weather Maps and Imagery.

School Holidays in
Switzerland --
In
Switzerland, the main responsibility for education and culture lies with the
cantons. They coordinate their work at the national level. The 26 cantonal
ministers of education together form a political body to carry out this
work: the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK). Legally
binding, intercantonal agreements (known as concordats) form the foundation
for the work of the EDK.
Hier können Sie für jeden Kanton die Daten
der schulischen Ferien für die Jahre 2008, 2009 und 2010 abrufen.
