Update on Maps, Data and Government Information at Western Libraries
The creation of a combined Maps, Data and Government Information Centre within Western Libraries continues to develop. The transition period will extend into 2011 before the merger is complete and a new unit takes shape. Phases of the project to create this combined service include examination of existing coordinated services (on-site visits October-November 2009), academic literature searches, an online survey (February-March 2010) to collect user input, focus groups with users (February-March 2010) and staff consultations (December 2009). Feedback, research results, and focus group participants’ comments will all be collated and analyzed to develop recommendations for the new service that will be submitted to Western Libraries Executive Committee.
