Best of luck! Angie American Geographical Society Library UW Milwaukee -------- Original Message -------- Subject: GIS in Libraries Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:10:15 -0700 From: Diaz, Carlos <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps-L (E-mail) <[log in to unmask]>, GIS 4 Libraries (E-mail) <[log in to unmask]>, GIS 4 Libraries (E-mail 2) <[log in to unmask]> 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of ( ) 0 the few or the one." \_/-, ,----' ==== // Mr. Spock / \-'~; /~~~(O) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan / __/~| / | =( _____| (_________| Carlos A.
