Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services in academic libraries
tend to differ, based on availability of GIS data, software, hardware,
and staff expertise. GIS services at the University of Kansas are closely
aligned with support for government information, data, maps, and
statistics. Thus, our responses to users’ needs are often naturally collaborative,
optimizing the expertise of multiple staff members and
various types of resources. The GIS and Data Specialist assists campus
researchers with spatial data and software, as well as facilitating access
to GIS data. Lab space for research and coursework involving spatial
data is a core component of GIS services. In addition, various levels
and types of GIS workshops are offered each semester, and custom
training sessions are also available. “Word of mouth” and hands-on
workshops are some of the most effective methods of outreach.
