Description
The project will run an in-person and online training for teams of librarians and GIS professionals, establish funding and provide support for local GIS projects, and create a community of practice. The project will enhance the existing online GIS-mapping toolkit through additional resources including the development of a repository of case studies. The project's outputs and findings will be widely disseminated to libraries and allied groups that support the publication and use of geospatial data. Ultimately, the project will connect public library staff with GIS learning opportunities and pathways that bring GIS agencies, organizations, and businesses together to help libraries and their patrons.
