This might be an interesting opportunity for map libraries ... a key part of any "civic data ecosystem"!

Civic Switchboard<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1oyI928vpjokXIT0ioF3pOGvtz1Z567wFkaXvhEaWiXeYqo0xdC0XeLoqMJT2EVQ5INtJlDCimeNKyAcxvNEM8iX2ieP2i-669v-x42fPrJBfc0VSve61sTlz2NRhR08JL4XHnRN0uigskmQXFx7b1W_tjZpwXGXbBNjYN261ihTla4xStVbnmrIWWJd7nfnrrYjTB7uSPWfBv-mMRHcGyO2okq3-NFYO_ZvIDmcXm2IOOx7J264Uh8AgvWHowVPsF5shkXGsNDAIzDuoirjdEg/https%3A%2F%2Fcivic-switchboard.github.io%2F>: Connecting Libraries and Community Information Networks is an Institute of Museum and Library Services supported effort that aims to develop the capacity of academic and public libraries in civic data ecosystems.



In 2019, Civic Switchboard will provide small awards for field projects to be led by libraries in partnership with community data organizations at two funding levels - $3000 and $9000. The organization applying for the award must be a public or academic library located in the United States.

Applications are due November 5th, 2018 (5:00PM EST)



The Field Project awards are intended to increase the library’s role as a key participant in the civic data ecosystem. We are looking for projects that demonstrate a commitment to understanding and engaging with local ecosystems.
