Map Librarianship Summary

Map Librarianship: A Guide to Geoliteracy, Map and GIS Resources and Services by Susan Elizabeth Ward Aber (Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, USA)

Map Librarianship identifies basic geoliteracy concepts and enhances reference and instruction skills by providing details on finding, downloading, delivering, and assessing maps, remotely sensed imagery, and other geospatial resources and services, primarily from trusted government sources. By offering descriptions of traditional maps, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and other geospatial technologies, the book provides a timely and practical guide for the map and geospatial librarian to blend confidence in traditional library skill sets.
