Since the
emergence of easily accessible dynamic online mapping tools, there has been a
drastic increase in geographic interest and awareness. Whether for personal,
social, professional or academic uses, people are using Geographic Information
System (GIS) technology to communicate information in a map format. Whether
it’s using Google Earth to study urban change, or creating Google Map Mashups
to deliver library resources, more and more members of society are turning to
mapping programs for their visualization needs. With so many using GIS
technology in their daily lives, library staff are now more than ever assisting
library clients with their mapping queries.
