How a Made-Up Intelligence Discipline Went Viral: Opportunities for Map Librarians and Archivists in Geospatial Intelligence

Our speaker will help us understand the push beyond geospatial toward GEOINT, defined as “. . . the derivation of information from imagery, geospatial data in all forms, and analytics”. GEOINT is expanding beyond the national security sector to play a critical role in the arena of business intelligence, logistics, marketing, agriculture, and data analytics. Additional background is available in this article and short video (both with the title, GeoINT Revolution).
