Would you like to incorporate GIS into your library’s services but don’t
know where or how to start? Are you interested in GIS but afraid it may
not be within your library’s scope or budget? Join an interactive panel
presentation and discussion on how geographic information systems (GIS)
have been implemented in three distinct settings: an academic library
just starting a GIS program, an academic library with an established GIS
program, and GIS services offered for public libraries. Our panelists
will discuss how GIS services originated in their institutions, describe
their service models including staffing, facilities, reference services,
data storage, and instruction, and provide examples of how their users
have embraced GIS in a library setting. Please join us to discover how
to make GIS happen in EVERY library, including YOURS!
