| Abstract: | Purpose – This article aims to provide an annotated bibliography of some of the geographic information system (GIS) resources, specifically data sets, available to libraries and researchers. Drawing on the collective authors' experience working with the GIS resources, this article aims to help librarians interested in developing and building their GIS collection. Design/methodology/approach – A literature review was performed using library databases, as well as consulting various library subject guides on the topic. Idaho State University is home to the GIS Training and Research Center and the university offers Master's degrees in Geographic Information Science and Historical Resources Management; the authors consulted graduate GIS students on resources used in the program. Findings – There is a large body of literature on GIS. This annotated guide, while not comprehensive, is a solid start to a GIS resources collection. Originality/value – No other annotated bibliography currently exists for those interested in building a library collection of GIS data sets. |
