32nd Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data
Processing
GIS and Libraries: Patrons, Maps and Spatial Information
April 2-4, 1995
Electronic technologies are creating new ways of meeting the
needs of library patrons for spatial and cartographic
information. This conference will examine the role of
Geographic Information Systems in providing information to a
variety of patrons in a number of different library
settings. Conference speakers will review the development
of GIS, current use of this technology in research and
decision-making, and will address the challenges and
opportunities facing libraries as they adopt this new kind
of information service. Offered in conjunction with the
conference are two optional preconference workshops related
to GIS.
Who should attend: This conference will be of interest to
librarians, academic computing staff, developers of
Geographic Information Systems, and scholars interested in
the possibilities of GIS in libraries.
PROGRAM
Sunday, April 2
9am-5pm Registration
9am-12 noon Workshop I: "Overview of Concepts"
(optional)
Marc P. Armstrong, Associate Professor, Department of
Geography and Program in Applied Mathematical and
Computational Sciences, The University of Iowa
This workshop will provide those attending with a basic set
of principles that are used by most GIS software. These
concepts will be illustrated using hypermedia software and a
projection panel. The topics will include: digitizing,
spatial data structures, creating map displays, and basic
spatial analysis.
