      Please join Columbia University Libraries/Information Services’ Center for
      Digital Research and Scholarship’s Scholarly Communication Program
      <http://scholcomm.columbia.edu/&gt; for “Open GIS: Extending Boundaries”, the
      second event of the academic year in our Research Without Borders
      <http://scholcomm.columbia.edu/events/&gt; panel discussion series. This event
      will take place from *2-4pm *on *Wednesday, November 18, 2015* in *Rooms
      522 & 523* of Columbia’s Butler Library
      <http://library.columbia.edu/locations/butler/directions.html&gt; It
      is free and open to the public.

      Welcome to GIS Day <http://gisday.com/&gt;! This event is centered on issues
      of open Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Geography shapes our world,
      but historically geographical information has been a closely guarded
      secret. As information itself becomes increasingly ubiquitous so does the
      potential for us to experience and use geographical information to increase
      our understanding of the world and expand the dimensions of research. What
      are the opportunities for discovering and accessing today’s Geographical
      Information Systems (GIS) frameworks and data? What are the risks posed by
      increased discoverability and accessibility? Panelists will address a
      variety of perspectives on what it means to be open with respect to GIS;
      what it requires, e.g., open access, open software, #opendata, and data
      reuse; and the tension between open and historically closed information
      systems.
