Geographic Information Systems - GIS PLA Tech Note

[GraceAnne A. DeCandido]

This year I will be writing three newTech Notes for the 
Public Library Association 
http://www.pla.org/technoteindex.html). As with the 
other nine, these will be posted on PLA’s Web site as 
they are completed. The first one is on Geographic 
Information Systems (GIS), the second on Unicode, and 
the third on e-books. All should be completed and 
posted by the end of June.

I have just begun work on GIS. I have in hand George 
Soete’s excellent February 1997 SPEC Kit 219 
document on GIS from the Association of Research 
Libraries, and a few web sites. I would be deeply 
interested in hearing from any *public library* that is 
using GIS, and in what ways. I will be happy to 
interview you by phone or via email. Useful citations are 
always welcome, also. 

Thanks to all. I look forward to hearing from you.
