What is a geospatial data librarian?

Geospatial Data Librarians are information professionals who specialize in managing, organizing, and providing access to geospatial data and related resources. They support students, researchers, and faculty in locating and using geographic information system (GIS) data, maps, aerial imagery, and spatial datasets. Their work often involves teaching users how to find, interpret, and use geospatial data, as well as maintaining collections and providing reference services related to geographic information. Geospatial Data Librarians may also collaborate on digital projects, data management, and research consultation in academic or research library settings.
