Are you interested in GIS but afraid it may not be within your library’s scope or budget? Join an interactive panel presentation and discussion on how geographic information systems (GIS) have been implemented in three distinct settings: an academic library just starting a GIS program, an academic library with an established GIS program, and GIS services offered for public libraries. Our panelists will discuss how GIS services originated in their institutions, describe their service models including staffing, facilities, reference services, data storage, and instruction, and provide examples of how their users have embraced GIS in a library setting. Please join us to discover how to make GIS happen in EVERY library, including YOURS! */Our panelists:/* Frank Donnelly - Geospatial Data Librarian, Newman Library, Baruch College CUNY Christie Koontz, PhD - Director, GeoLib, Florida State University, College of Communication and Information Chris Miller - Assistant Professor of Library Science and Geographic Information Systems Specialist, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN */Co-sponsored with:/ *PLA | RUSA–BRASS | GODORT | FAFLRT */This program is made possible with financial support from:/* ESRI and Geographic Research Inc. */ /* Hope to see you there!
