-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: Webinar possibility Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:01:48 -0500 From: SCARLETTO, EDITH <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps List <[log in to unmask]> Dear Maps-l folks, Please excuse cross postings. I received this note last week when I inquired to Brett about the possibility of speaking with the MAGERT Federal Spatial Information discussion group about NARA and archiving of data in the National Map. Please send any suggestions you may have regarding the webinar to me and I will compile them and send on your thoughts to Brett. Thank you, Edith Edith Scarletto Head, Map Library Liaison Librarian for Geography & Geology Kent State University PO BOX 5190 Kent, OH 44242-0001 330-672-1674(am)/ 330-672-2017(pm) [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Brett Abrams [mailto:[log in to unmask]] *Sent:* Tue 2/5/2008 10:55 AM *To:* SCARLETTO, EDITH; Steve Morris; David Arctur; Tsering W Shawa (E-mail); Joe Aufmuth *Subject:* Webinar possibility Good Morning Everyone: This group includes representatives from the Cartographic Users Advisory Council, the Open Geospatial Consortium's Data Preservation Working Group and the Map and Geography Round Table of ALA. Most, if not all of you, have suggested a webinar of all the parties interested in the long-term preservation and access of geographic information both digital map and digital data. I'm beginning thoughts about getting NARA and perhaps LC to sponsor a webinar. One that would also include federal government GIS practitioners. What would each of you like to raise as issues for presentation and focus? What would you want as take aways? Would a structure of a few short presentation and open discussion be the most appropriate format? I realize this is a very sketchy beginning but I'm looking forward to culling your ideas together and coming back with a more refined plan. Best, Brett
