The American Geographical Society Library (AGSL) and Digital Collections & Initiatives (DC&I) department have launched GeoDiscovery<\/a>, an online geoportal that provides discovery and access to geospatial data in AGSL collections as well as data and maps held by other institutions, harvested via OpenGeoMetadata<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new portal represents the culmination of years of work towards increasing access to AGSL collections, allowing users to download data from the website without the need to make a data request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libraries staff who contributed to the project were Stephen Appel in AGSL, Jie Chen, Karl Holten, and Ann Hanlon in DC&I, and Nathan Humpal in Collection and Resource Management. External developer Eric Larson helped with the core development tasks on the front-end application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
