Towards a New Paradigm in Map and Spatial Information Librarianship
In this editorial, we continue our conversation with readers about the value of map and geography libraries with a focus on the past and likely future trends that have and will continue to define our profession. In doing so, we identified three paradigm shifts that have occurred in map and spatial information librarianship over the last 25 years. Each shift was precipitated by a desire to stay relevant in the areas of collecting, providing access to, and using spatial information in a changing world. The third paradigm shift described below is ongoing as academic libraries in general and map and geography libraries specifically continue to evolve. As is typical of transitions of many kinds, variation in how the third paradigm shift is being perceived and applied at different institutions is substantial; meaning that there is an opportunity for us to share with one another what we are doing, what is working, and, perhaps more importantly, what is not working. The formal and informal conversations that ensue will help to shape the future of our profession. The Oxford English Dictionary defines paradigm as: “A conceptual or methodological model underlying the theories and practices of a science or discipline at a particular time; (hence) a generally accepted world view.” If we look back, we can see that during the past 25 years we can mark three major paradigm shifts in map librarianship. The first shift coincided with the arrival of decennial United States census data on CD-ROM, and a digital revolution in map libraries followed. The distribution of census data in a machine-readable format meant that libraries needed to have the machines to read the information. Libraries responded by installing public access computers in their spaces, a signal that how we accessed and used geographic information had changed forever. The next shift came with the introduction of another new format—digitized images of print
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
