I started a new listserv for GIS in libraries after a meeting of state librarians showed there was quite a bit of interest in such a list. It would be great to have people from far and wide subscribe to the list. I know a lot of library folks who use GIS are on Maps-L, but I know there are others, so please pass the information around. Thanks! ----- Original Message ----- | I received many positive responses to my query last week about starting a | listserv for folks using GIS in libraries in Washington State.
