Hi Carlos (and everyone),
Here is the info for Vanderbilt as well. I'll save the list from an open discussion about our services, but I'm happy to chat more about that with you. I've been at Vanderbilt for almost 4 years now. When I started this was a new position (GIS Coorinator) so I have a fair amount of experience with starting a new GIS service in the Library.
Here's the link: http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/gis/
There's a bit of info on our Plotter in the 'Our Services' link.
Hope that helps,
-Jacob Thornton

Hi Carlos,
You can learn about our GIS services here:
http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/AGSL/agsgis/homegis.cfm
and about our plotters and scanners here:
http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/AGSL/servrprdt.cfm#scanning
Now that you aren't a depository library you get to learn a new trick!
Best of luck!

At our library we are looking into the possibility of expanding GIS
services.
What I am wondering is what are libraries who provide GIS services doing
for their patrons? What kind of equipment do you have? What kind of
training/workshops do you provide for patrons? What kind of usage does
your GIS services get?
We are a mediuim sized academic library at a college with an enrollment
of about 4,000 students. There is a great deal of emphasis in the
environmental sciences, envirionmental studies, public policy, and
education to name a few.
At this time, we only have one GIS workstation and have been thinking
about purchasing a plotter so we can access all that electronic GIS data
available from the government.
I look forward to hearing from ya'll.
