Hello Maine GeoLibrary Data Catalog Consumers,
My name is Emily Pettit and I am the new GIS Coordinator for the Maine Office of GIS, taking over from Anji Auger who retired at the end of 2018. My role in MEGIS includes GIS data development, maintaining metadata, assisting with GIS
projects, and engaging in outreach.
I will be posting monthly updates about the GeoLibrary data holdings on the first Monday of each month, or the first Tuesday after a Monday holiday. High-priority alerts and notifications will be sent immediately.
The Maine Office of GIS performs regular maintenance once every four weeks on Sunday morning, which does result in temporary outages of the ArcGIS platform. The next scheduled maintenance Sunday is February 2, 2020.
