----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Greetings. I'd like to announce a new (yes, yet another...) discussion list devoted to the subject of GIS-related programs and services in LIBRARIES. GISIG-L is a product of LITA's GIS Interest Group and it is intended to facilitate useful discussion on issues and concerns inherent in providing GIS technology in Libraries. It is also hoped that participants benefit from the exchange of problem-solving tips, service strategies, ideas regarding user and staff education, data acquisition, software selection, and announcements for meetings, workshops, and other events. Anyone involved with GIS-related services in Libraries is welcome to participate in GISIG-L. To subscribe, send the following message (no subject, please) to: "[log in to unmask]" subscribe gisig-l [your email address] Thank you for your attention.
