-------- Original Message -------- Subject: geospatial data in institutional repositories? Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 16:34:45 -0600 From: Kathryn Lage <[log in to unmask]> To: 'Maps and Air Photo Systems Forum' <[log in to unmask]> Hi all, I’m doing some preparation for a NACIS presentation the week after next and hoping to gather knowledge from the collective Maps-L mind! I’m investigating geospatial research data in open repositories. And… I’m not finding much at all. I had hoped that the recent increase in research data management and data repositories would be reflected in the geospatial world. That in itself is an interesting finding, but I can’t talk about it for very long! So, I have two questions for Maps-L folks: 1.Does your institution have an IR that is planning to already holds research**GIS datasets? 2.Does your institution host a geoportal that contains institutional research data as well as commercial or government data? I’m doing more research on geoportals, government, and subject repositories, but thought I’d ask in case I’m missing something. It can be hard to pull out geospatial data. Thanks for any info you can provide! -Katie Katie Lage Earth Sciences/Map Librarian, Acting Head Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences & Map Library Sciences Department, University Libraries 184 UCB University of Colorado Boulder, CO 80309 303-735-4917 http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/map/
