What is the purpose of the
The
purpose of the Maine GeoLibrary List is to provide the Maine GIS
community with
an easy way to exchange information on GIS related events, issues, and
training
opportunities around the state as well as around the world. It has also been established to provide an
easy means to lower the barriers for the use of GIS by allowing GIS
users to
ask questions when they need assistance and to obtain answers from
others that
have already addressed those issues and are willing to share what they
have
learned.
