Data Outreach

The Geographic Names Theme Lead:

  • When the dataset is re-published with updates, notification is sent to the State Library’s Geographic Information Facebook page and to the GIS community via the State Library’s GeoInfo email account.
  • Notify the GIS Community and the public of new place name proposals. A general press release is also issued, and requests for comment are sent to the county commissioners of the affected counties.
  • Notify the GIS Community and the public of place name proposal decisions.
