Please join the Maine GIS User Group (MEGUG) on July 30 as we welcome Bob Bistrais from the Maine Office of GIS and Vinton Valentine from the Maine GeoLibrary Board for a virtual lunch & learn event!

The Maine Office of GIS (MEGIS) and the Maine Library of Geographic Information (GeoLibrary) recently updated the Maine GeoLibrary Data Catalog to make it more efficient and user-friendly for constituents and stakeholders. This Data Catalog retains long-time user-facing aspects of the legacy catalog and organizes content by ISO metadata category, alphabetically, or by state agency. It also leverages back-end technology not available in the legacy version. We will review the changes and how to easily access the GeoLibrary Data Catalog and its contents.

Wednesday, July 30, 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Free event; RSVP required: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1586520919324605711
