Abstract
The author discusses opportunities for enhancing discovery, explorability, and access for digital aerial imagery collections. These opportunities are informed by a user survey that was conducted to ascertain what properties of aerial imagery users are most interested in when exploring these data, and to learn what methods of access are most desired in order to utilize these data. Conclusions are drawn from the survey results that can be used by GIS librarians to guide their digital georeferenced and non-georeferenced aerial imagery management activities in order to more effectively provide discovery, exploration, and access services for these data.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
