GIS Day at UF, Wednesday November 19th!

Wednesday, November 19, the George A. Smathers Libraries at the
University of Florida will host an all-day event to showcase the use of
geographic information systems (GIS) to the academic community and the
public. GIS Day is a global event that celebrates GIS and is held each
year on the Wednesday of National Geographic Society's Geography
Awareness Week (November 16-22 in 2008). The Smathers Libraries will
provide this opportunity for those curious about GIS to see its
applications in action. It will also allow the many departments on
campus who use GIS to come together to share the research projects on
which they are working. Most importantly, it will highlight the many
services and resources in the libraries' Spatial Information Services
Unit available for researchers using GIS.
