The MAGIRT Map Collection Management and GIS Discussion Groups will meet
at ALA Midwinter in Dallas on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 in Room D163
at the Dallas Convention Center:

   * Map Collection Management Discussion Group - 1:30 - 3:30PM
   * GIS Discussion Group - 4 - 5:30PM

The Map Collection Management Discussion Group will include a brief
overview of current issues in the FDLP as they relate to map libraries
and collections as well as discussion of map collection management
issues. The GIS Discussion Group will feature an update from USGS
Libraries Program Director Richard Huffine. Refreshments between
discussion group sessions will be provided by East View Cartographic.

For those of you not attending Midwinter this year, both discussion
groups will be live streamed via Ustream on the MAGIRT channel -

<http://www.ustream.tv/channel/magirt.>. Ustream channels include a chat
feature, so anyone attending virtually can join in the discussion (you
will either need to create a Ustream account or sign in with your
Facebook or Twitter account).

If you have any questions about our discussion groups or would like to
suggest a discussion topic for either session, please contact me at

Hope to see you in Dallas on the 21st, either in person or virtually!
