REMINDER!! 32nd Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing GIS and Libraries: Patrons, Maps and Spatial Information April 2-4, 1995 Electronic technologies are creating new ways of meeting the needs of library patrons for spatial and cartographic information. This conference will examine the role of Geographic Information Systems in providing information to a variety of patrons in a number of different library settings. Conference speakers will review the development of GIS, current use of this technology in research and decision-making, and will address the challenges and opportunities facing libraries as they adopt this new kind of information service. Offered in conjunction with the conference are two optional preconference workshops related to GIS. Who should attend: This conference will be of interest to librarians, academic computing staff, developers of Geographic Information Systems, and scholars interested in the possibilities of GIS in libraries. PROGRAM Sunday, April 2 9am-5pm Registration 9am-12 noon Workshop I: "Overview of Concepts" (optional) Marc P. Armstrong, Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Program in Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences, The University of Iowa This workshop will provide those attending with a basic set of principles that are used by most GIS software. These concepts will be illustrated using hypermedia software and a projection panel. The topics will include: digitizing, spatial data structures, creating map displays, and basic spatial analysis. 12-1:30pm Lunch (on your own) 1:30-4:30pm Workshop II: "Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences" (optional) Gerard Rushton, Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Program in Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences, The University of Iowa This workshop will focus on how social science data, particularly census data, can be analyzed spatially using GIS techniques. 5-6:30 pm Reception 6:30-7:30pm Dinner 8pm Keynote Address Map Technology in Transition Mark Monmonier, Professor, Department of Geography, Maxwell School, Syracuse University.
