Tom had previously worked here as our first GIS librarian on a limited term basis since 2009, and in that position he established our library's GIS program from scratch, including setting up our GIS lab; reaching out to faculty, graduate students and undergrads from many academic departments; preparing for spatial services within our emerging research commons and establishing a campus-wide GIS users group. He is also active in professional societies, including being the editor of the WAML Information Bulletin. Tom continues to work closely with Mary Luebbe, Data Librarian; Paul Lesack, Data & GIS Associate and Tim Ross, Map Librarian. Congratulations, Tom!
