The Role of Libraries in Geography and GIS Education: Report on a series of conversations about libraries, geography, GIS, and education in 2020.

This is a report of our activities during the Role of Libraries in Geography and GIS Education project. A.k.a. ROLGGE (pronounced "Role G”), the project was a grant funded effort to foster the development of a community of libraries, data practitioners, and educators to enable effective teaching, consultation, and outreach around spatial literacy education. Funding for the project was awarded by the National Center for Research in Geography Education (NCRGE) as a Transformative Research in Geography Education grant. The funds from the project were dedicated to network building activities like in-person and virtual meetings. The project was organized by Emma Slayton and Jessica Benner who work in the Libraries at Carnegie Mellon University. Over the course of the project, we hosted 11 conversations.
