Title: Collaboration for the Dissemination of Geologic Information among
Colleagues

Session Description: This session focuses on cooperative projects and
practices by faculty, students, government agencies, librarians,
professional and trade organizations, or others, designed to disseminate
information among the geologic community. Includes discussion of web
pages, guides, classes, workshops, digitization projects or any other
forum in which geological information was dispersed to colleagues.

 Rationale: The dissemination of information has become very complex in
the electronic age. This session will provide an opportunity for the
geologic community to demonstrate how they are working together to
providing information to their colleagues.
