Map and Geospatial Hub: Toward an Ecosystem of Geographic Information Discovery and Access Check out the video: Map and Geospatial Hub: Toward an Ecosystem of Geographic Information Discovery and Access<https://youtu.be/NJ9-z3ugn7Y?si=YBy0PJSOVwQ8MiSG> From the youtube description: The Map and Geospatial Hub expands access to geospatial and cartographic resources across ASU and beyond. It’s a fusion of a traditional map library and a modern GIS center. The Hub is a dynamic operation, where all sorts of applied GIS and mapping projects are carried out. But its most fundamental activities involve the management and distribution of geographic information resources. The Map and Geospatial Hub at Arizona State University is striving to build a truly innovative library ecosystem of geographic information discovery and access. In this video, learn more about the two interconnected software platforms stand as the dual pillars supporting this vision: (1) the Map and Geospatial Hub 3D Explorer, and (2) ASU GeoData. The 3D Explorer is an application that virtualizes library space and assets. One can think of it as the first-ever library digital twin. It's a custom web-based GIS application modeling library space in three dimensions. It allows users to virtually tour, discover, locate, and access resources while aiding staff with collection management. The application serves many purposes, but, first and foremost, it’s a resource locator — a geographical resource locator. Standing alongside the 3D Explorer is ASU GeoData. ASU GeoData is the centralized site for the distribution and curation of the geographic information resources managed by the Map and Geospatial Hub. It’s an instance of an Esri ArcGIS Hub site that organizes geospatial datasets by category and makes those data available for preview, evaluation, and easy import or download in a variety of file formats. ___________________________________________________________ Video Editing & Production: Gayle Tomimbang Concept, Narration, Data Visualization: Matthew Toro sent by: Angie Cope AGS Library, UW Milwaukee Libraries 2311 E.
