They are, however, an underutilized resource because they are challenging to work with and due to misconceptions about their quality. Therefore, developing efficient workflows to convert archival aerial photographs into research-quality digital spatial data is an important next step in making them accessible to a broad range of potential users. The present study tested three software to georeference, orthorectify, and mosaic 15 digitized archival photographs. Using positional accuracy and aesthetics of output mosaics as measures of software performance, all three completed the task impressively well. Output image spatial resolution and positional accuracy were found to be comparable to common public-domain contemporary aerial photography datasets like those produced by the National Agricultural Imagery Program. We also assessed software ease of use by geospatial professionals who were not trained photogrammetrists and found all three to be accessible with care and training resources. The software tools to efficiently convert archival aerial photographs into research-quality digital spatial data have finally matured to the point where collection managers can reasonably consider collection scale conversion projects.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"88 1","pages":"209 - 229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77082949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, most historical aerial photos remain un-digitized and un-georeferenced on aging photographic film rolls, which significantly limits their usefulness for research and practice. This article is dedicated to discussing a funded initiative focusing on digitizing, georeferencing, creating metadata, indexing, archiving, and web-publishing New Mexico’s historical aerial photos. As part of this initiative, a web application was developed to enable online georeferencing to increase georeferencing productivity, bounding box display to present the ground coverage extent of each historical aerial photo, and spatial search to increase the discoverability and use of historical aerial photos. Based on a set of open standards and open source software and libraries, application programming interfaces for the aforementioned web application were also developed and freely shared with archival and record management organizations across the United States to enable them to develop similar web applications, and ultimately, promoting the access and use of historical aerial photos for various purposes.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"101 1","pages":"185 - 208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80918155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The last several years have seen a wave of social justice demonstrations and conversations that have brought the ongoing effects of systemic racism and inequity to the forefront, including in libraries. Many of our libraries and academic institutions issued statements supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and committing to anti-racism, reflected on how DEIA-focused learning and activities could be prioritized in our organizations, and hopefully dedicated resources to advance and sustain these efforts. Nevertheless, we still find ourselves at what may seem like only the beginning of a necessary and overdue reckoning with the structures and practices that perpetuate inequities across our institutions and profession, requiring continued acknowledgement, reflection, conversation, and action to rectify. It is within this environment that our guest-editorial team has operated, bringing with us varying personal experiences and professional expertise as current and former map, geospatial, and data professionals in academic libraries. We chose to revise the terminology used in the title of this issue compared to the original call for papers to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) to better reflect the content of the articles that follow. To consider the scope of DEIJ as it relates to this special issue and to librarianship more broadly, we draw upon definitions provided in the indispensable work of Bussmann and colleagues in their recent series of columns in Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship:","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"18 1","pages":"143 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44391997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AGSL’s collections have a long history that is the product of colonialism, patriarchy, racism, and other issues. The class visits to the AGSL are an excellent opportunity to highlight the collection and to teach students to think critically about primary source materials. In line with the values of the AGSL staff and the UWM Library’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, staff decided it was time to reframe the way the AGSL approaches information literacy instruction. The Public Services Librarian developed a primary source literacy and cartographic literacy program where students begin to teach themselves through the use of guided questionnaires and group discussions prompting the students to think critically about cartographic resources. This article will describe the AGSL’s approach to cartographic and primary literacy source instruction with classes in multiple disciplines and in both undergraduate and graduate levels.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"18 1","pages":"87 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41497503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited health data literacy skills and other barriers can make it difficult for users to locate and utilize the relevant and reliable health information that they need. Moreover, the various data scales used to report health information can oversimplify the nuances at the community level. Libraries and librarians are well positioned to connect individuals with relevant health information. Librarians, as information specialists, can be ideal creators of tools and resources that can help communicate impactful health information to individuals and communities in ways that are easier to understand, without losing vital details and integrity. This article presents reflections on the newly developed interactive community health dashboard, titled the Brooklyn Health Map, which focuses on Brooklyn, New York. The dashboard collects, organizes, and visualizes publicly available health information at three levels of geography (i.e., census tract, zip code, and neighborhood), in the form of maps, graphs, and data summaries to facilitate data discoverability and access. It lays out the major considerations in the development of the tool and reports on initial outcomes and opportunities that have emerged in the time since the tool has been created.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"18 1","pages":"22 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47723055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teaching data visualization concepts and data literacy skills around a specific topic can be particularly impactful. This paper presents an approach to data visualization and advocacy centered around the issue of sexual and gender minority health. Not only are we witnessing continuous attacks on LGBTQIA + rights in the United States, in the healthcare setting, the needs of LGBTQIA + patients are often not met due to the insufficient training of healthcare providers. There is a need to better understand the health challenges and barriers that sexual gender minority patients face, and to advocate for these patients both inside and outside of the healthcare setting. This paper explains some of these health challenges and barriers and offers a pedagogical approach for DEI advocacy that is based in critical map and data librarianship, and social justice advocacy. The article presents a lesson plan that combines data literacy and data visualization concepts with community needs assessments—such as walking and windshield surveys – thereby proposing a way for educators to advocate for marginalized people.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"18 1","pages":"115 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48647458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borchert Map Library was the ideal incubator for an experiment that has changed how a wide range of people are thinking about structural racism and the history of race in American urban environments. Mapping Prejudice used a cartographic visualization of racial covenants as the intellectual nexus of a project that transcended disciplinary boundaries and invited community members into cutting-edge research work. The Map Library provided the physical space, resources, and geospatial expertise necessary for community-driven mapping work. It also served as an intersectional hub necessary for this transformative research initiative, illustrating the synergies between map librarianship and other disciplines. The work depended on the unique contributions of the map librarian: project management; experience networking with researchers, campus departments, and community groups; and knowledge of best practices surrounding data management, curation, and reuse. This article explains how Mapping Prejudice changed academic scholarship and public understandings by engaging volunteers in meaningful research. It concludes by providing a description of future directions for this project and calls on librarians to lead more work of this kind. The example of Mapping Prejudice suggests ways that map librarians can be leading new modes of inclusive, equitable and community-responsive research.","PeriodicalId":54009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map & Geography Libraries","volume":"18 1","pages":"1 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41614705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
