People who are planning to attend the ALA Midwinter conference in Boston are most welcome to come to our GIS Discussion Group and GeoTech Committee meeting. The meeting will be held in Hynes Convention Center 313 from 9:00-11:00am. It is open to all the people who are interested in sharing and learning about geographic information, and technology in library. Right now we have three agendas and hope to have more at the meeting. 1. Information session followed by discussion on system architecture that was designed by Digital Map and Geospatial Information Center (PUL)to catalog, organize, distribute, view, and download scanned maps, aerial photographs, and geospatial data. 2. Discussion on staffing issues, costs (for software and development) and ongoing maintenance of system architecture for individual institutions that are dealing with the above issues. 3. Discussion on Metacarta http://www.metacarta.com See you in Boston!! -Wangyal Tsering Wangyal Shawa Geographic Information Systems Librarian Head, Digital Map and Geospatial Information Center Geosciences and Map Library Fine Hall B Level, Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 Phone: (609) 258-6804 Fax: (609) 258-4607 www.princeton.edu/~geolib/gis Tsering W Shawa ([log in to unmask]),Tsering W Shawa <[log in to unmask]> Geographic Information Systems Librarian Princeton University Library Geosciences and Map Library
