Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610-3305. Tel: 312-255-3554. FAX: 312-255-3513. PROGRAM: John Karnuth and Larry Hanson, City of Chicago, Dept. of Planning and Development, "Planning for Chicago's Next Millennium with GIS." Anyone who pays the least attention to the built environment of Chicago knows that the city planners have been working overtime. Every time you turn around, there's a new, ambitious public works project, including one right outside the Newberry in Washington Square Park. An important ingredient in all this activity is the sophisticated GIS system that the city employs. This month, in recognition of National GIS Day, we will get a guided tour of the City's GIS system from two of the people who make it work. Please join us at the usual time and place for an evening of refreshments, conversation, and a stimulating presentation. For December, we've got Anna Friedman on the 16th (this program will be at the Adler Planetarium, in what is apparently a splendid new and much-sought-after space) for further details, please contact Robert W. Karrow, Jr., Curator of Special Collections and Curator of Maps, Roger & Julie Baskes Department of Special Collections, The Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610-3305.
