About the Webcast
In 1992, ARL, with members of the geographic information systems (GIS) 
community, began the GIS Literacy Project in order to "introduce, 
educate, and equip librarians with the skills necessary to provide 
access to spatially referenced data in all formats." Since that time, 
the role that libraries play in GIS has continued to expand across 
communities and disciplines and to grow both within the library and in 
campus centers. This growth has created new collaborations with 
researchers, government agencies, the public, faculty, and students 
alike. Libraries have responded with outreach, training, and the 
development of new service models to meet individual institutional 
needs. In addition, new questions around metadata, digitization, and 
user assessment encourage libraries to continue thinking of digital 
mapping and library services in new ways.

In this live, interactive webcast you will learn more about GIS library 
services and their increasing importance across the insitution and in 
partnerships beyond the library. By providing you with direct access to 
hands-on experts, this Webcast gives library staff, campus faculty, and 
administrators an opportunity to explore this topic in a shared learning 
environment.

Presented by ARL's Federal Relations & Information Policy Program in 
conjunction with ESRI.
