Scientific paper

I review the field of globular cluster system (GCS) kinematics, including a
brief primer on observational methods. The kinematical structures of spiral
galaxy GCSs so far appear to be broadly similar. The inferred rotation and mass
profiles of elliptical galaxy halos exhibit a diversity of behaviors, requiring
more systematic observational and theoretical studies.
