Good afternoon All, On December 31st 2013, the GeoLibrary's GeoPortal will be taken offline permanently due to insufficient funds and changing technology needs. Funding for the Library has been reduced to nearly zero and so this service cannot be supported. http://geolibportal.usm.maine.edu/geonetwork/srv/en/main.home [cid:image005.jpg@01CEFB38.FE616860] The Board suggests that entities host metadata on their own sites and register them in a catalog such as http://www.data.gov. If you have data in the portal that you would like to retrieve please do it by 12/31/2013 (that is just 16 days away) Please place this at the top of your to do list-(not your New Year's resolution list) Joseph Young Executive Director Maine GeoLibrary SHS 145 51 Commerce Drive Augusta, Maine 04333- 207-624-2664 [MaineGeoLibrary_Web_banner_JY] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list Maine GeoNews (GEOLIBRARY-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all Maine GIS Users.
