Abstract

"Electronic technologies, including geographic information systems (GIS), are creating new ways of meeting the needs of library users of spatial and cartographic information. The 32nd Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in April 1995, addressed the theme of ""GIS and Libraries: Patrons, Maps, and Spatial Information."" The papers from this conference cover a wide range of topics within the sphere of GIS and libraries. Whether it be a consideration of cartographic technology, geographic information storage and retrieval, or the use of GIS by the general public through online and public library sources, this edition of the proceedings provides a well-rounded examination of the issues, challenges, and potential solutions (both technological and human) to this rapidly expanding field."
