Subject: MAGIRT Schedule for ALA Annual Conference (revised)
Below is the schedule of MAGIRT sponsored events at the American Library Association Annual Conference. All meetings are open for anyone to attend, but I’d like to draw special attention to our programs and social events.
Our program The Accidental Map Librarian will explore the exciting world of map librarianship! Speakers Katherine Rankin, Mary Larsgaard, and Hallie Pritchett will guide you through the “what’s what” of maps, including collecting, storage and collection management. Attendees will learn about major digital resources and how to strike a balance between print and digital collections. Bring your questions and bring a friend. The first 100 attendees will receive a free map and a MAGIRT logo souvenir.
We are pleased to also offer a 1-hour session that explores ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Online is a collaborative, cloud-based platform that allows members of an organization to use, create, and share maps, apps, and data, including authoritative basemaps published by Esri.
MAGIRT events are generously supported by our sponsors (in alphabetical order) East View Geospatial (makers of EVGeoCloud ), Esri (makers of ArcGIS , Geographic Research Inc. (makers of Simplymap ), and The Reinvestment Fund (makers of Policymap ).
Further details on the Friday and Saturday social events will be released soon. We hope to see you there!
