Librarians and The National Map
Librarians like maps and know patrons want to look at them. So, new tech, like The National Map, makes them nervous. How will it be archived? How will patrons print out a whole county? Those are questions USGS has yet to address, though it acknowledges these are important questions. Also noted in an article in FCW is GIS jargon. “Another complication is that many people don’t understand geographic information system jargon, which features monstrosities such as digital orthophoto quadrangles and digital raster graphics.”
