Abstract
The BigTen Academic Alliance Geospatial Data Project is collectively managed by librarians and geospatial specialists at thirteen research institutions across the BigTen Academic Alliance. The most visible output of the project is the BTAAGeoportal, which connects users to digital geospatial resources, including GIS datasets, web services, and digitized historical maps from multiple data clearinghouses and library catalogs. Aside from the Geoportal, the project contributes to the Big Ten Academic Alliance by sharing expertise, leveraging campus resources, and collaborating on innovative programs, including metadata improvement, software application development, efforts to diversify and enhance geospatial data collections, targeted improvements to outreach and teaching, and providing a robust, user-tested search environment. This talk will describe the efforts of the project team to meet these needs through innovation and collaboration across the geographies of the BTAA.
