LAUNCH OF PUBLIC LIBRARY GEOGRAPHIC DATABASE BETA WEBSITE Florida State
University's GeoLib program is seeking feedback on the beta version of
their Public Library Geographic Database (PLGDB). The website contains
data for over 16,000 libraries in the US, mapping them in a geographic
database. Unlike many national library-mapping databases, PLGDB is
overlaying the map with census data. This will allow users to compare
library locations with local census statistics, such as population
density, neighborhood racial and gender makeup, etc. Currently the
database only contains population density data, but other data sets will
be added in the future.
