Dear Map and Geographic Information Librarians,
The Geographic Information Librarianship (GIL) survey closes *November
21*, 2012. The study is funded by the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian
Program grant via the Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS).You are being invited to take part in this research study because
you are a critical agent in identifying the importance of knowledge,
skills, and abilities required to perform this job.
I know your time is valuable, but by taking a brief moment out of your
busy schedule to participate in this study, you will contribute to
library and information science education by informing curricula with
empirical data from actual practice.In addition, these findings will
help to start the discussion for a potential revision of the Map and
Geographic Information Round Table's (MAGIRT) Core Competencies. This is
the final request for participation. We greatly appreciate those who
have already participated, but each opinion helps shape these courses.
If you choose to participate, you will be asked questions related to
your role as a GIS and/or Map Librarian. The survey will take 15 - 20
minutes.Your responses will not be linked to any personal identifier or
name.
