Subject: New! GIS in Libraries listserv
Sender: Jenny Stone <[log in to unmask]>


FYI. I started a new listserv for GIS in libraries after a meeting of state
librarians showed there was quite a bit of interest in such a list. It would
be great to have people from far and wide subscribe to the list. I know a
lot of library folks who use GIS are on Maps-L, but I know there are others,
so please pass the information around. Thanks!

| I received many positive responses to my query last week about starting a
| listserv for folks using GIS in libraries in Washington State. So I've
| started one, gis4lib -- subscription information follows.
|
| The purpose of the listserv will be to share tips, ask questions, seek
| advice, engage in dialogues -- you name it, as long as it relates to the
use
| of GIS in libraries. I've started the list with Washington State in mind,
| but am leaving it open -- I know there are folks beyond this state who are
| also interested in such a list.
