It’s been a busy summer - I’ve spent a good chunk of it working on an election mapping project. The library wanted to create a resource for students to use for the upcoming 2008 presidential election. Here it is:
Red States, Blue States: Electoral Strategy Behind the Map
A few of the procedures and issues I encountered while working on the project became fodder for a number of posts to this blog, so I thought I’d share the end result.
I’ve also been assembling data and pages for a server I’ve been given to provide GIS data at Baruch, and have been investigating open source alternatives to ArcGIS. More on that later…

Welcome to my little world of Gothos! Here, I will share my experiences, tips, musings, knowledge, mistakes, opinions, and thoughts as a geography / GIS librarian. We’ll cover data sources, data processing, map making, resources, and more. I’ll also post relevant announcements for the local GIS community at CUNY and beyond. Where possible, I’ll also share some of my work: maps, reference guides, and datasets. See the About page for additional info.
