This GIS Birds-of-a-Feather session is meant to provide an opportunity for TCDL attendees to learn more about the GIS Interest Group and the work and focus of the group. This includes GIS, mapping, GIS tools, AI, working with Faculty and students, and more. The session will provide an opportunity to network with librarians/specialists or others interested in GIS/mapping and working in similar fields and to have an opportunity to ask questions or listen to discussion about current projects or activities from different institutions. One such project is the Georeference-A-Thon taking place later this summer that all can virtually attend. Come and learn more about the new resource that will be used at this event and hear about the other types of events and direction the group is hoping to take to reach more of the needs of librarians and staff/faculty working with GIS, mapping, and other similar areas.
