 Beyond Locating Data: Academic Libraries Role in Providing GIS Services Track: Using GIS in Libraries & Museums Author(s): Michael Howser, James Callahan Within the information age, librarians and library patrons are looking for new and exciting methods for effectively presenting research data. Utilizing ESRI's ArcGIS software, patrons can manipulate various types of numeric and geospatial data to create a powerful visual representation known as a map. Successful GIS service requires that libraries provide patrons access to GIS software, large format scanning and printing, instruction, data services, and technical support. Participants will discover how Miami University (Ohio) Libraries are providing GIS access, service, and support to a multidisciplinary user environment and how these elements can be applied within an academic library.
