Hi all, Since 2013, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville's iSchool has continuously offered the Geographic Information Pathway (https://sis.utk.edu/exploreprograms/masters/career-pathway-geographic-information) as a deliverable of the Building Institutional Capacity Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Geographic Information Librarianship project.. I'd like to thank the Maps-L community again for participation in the job analyses survey from 2014 that informed the curriculum. I've continually updated the teaching materials and will teach 543 Spatial Data Management (part of our Research Data Management certificate now) in this upcoming Spring 2022. I'm always on the lookout for guest speakers if anyone is interested. Bishop, B. W., Cadle, A. W., & Grubesic, T. H. (2015). Job analyses of emerging information professions: A survey validation of core competencies to inform curricula. Library Quarterly, 85(1), 64-84. http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/679026 I suppose it would be interesting to update this study and see what new tasks have emerged and also if the same basic geographic and cartographic knowledge, skills, and abilities are valued the same way. Tony Grubesic (co-PI on the IMLS grant) and I also completed a book as part of the grant-Geographic Information: Organization, Access, and Use. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1049587018 The chapters map to weeks in the course, but I supplement with many other readings. I hope this all helps and take care, Wade Wade Bishop Associate Professor School of Information Sciences University of Tennessee 1345 Circle Park Dr. Room 454 Communications Bldg.

I would add at least one class on imagery and mapping and include aerial photography, satellite imagery, and Lidar or any of the various forms of remote sensing. Our historic aerial photography collections is one of the most frequently used In the collection.

Why your print map collection should be in your catalog. 2. Map types (multiple geological map types, human geography types (like political, economics, population, etc.), non-flat physical maps, like globes and raised relief, etc. 3. How maps are misused. For example, I have many times seen people use maps around election time to show how many counties voted "red" - but there are more people in my county than eight entire states. In other words, dirt doesn't vote. 4. History of maps. Such as: * Historic maps and their importancce. * How maps were created before computers. * why flat maps can never be 100% precise (projection types). 1. If time, how we map other planets. -Danny Daniel S.

I'm in the process of developing a course on Map/GIS Librarianship for the Department of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. I'm really starting from scratch, so would appreciate any input. What do you wish you learned in library school? Has anyone taught a similar course and would be willing to share resources? I'm imagining some combination of spatial humanities, map care & collecting, critical cartography, map types/reading, and a little bit of cartographic history, etc. Thanks in advance! Feel free to reply to me directly if you prefer.
