Description
Summary:A follow-up survey on the implementation and use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in smaller academic libraries (Carnegie Classification Master's Colleges and Universities I & II) (Carnegie Foundation 1997-2003) was distributed to twenty-one libraries identified in a previous survey as using GIS. Eleven of the surveys were returned. Nine libraries have continued offering GIS services and the remaining two have discontinued the service due to lack of use. The majority of respondents stated that GIS is still underutilized and underfunded at their institution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
