Geospatial Search

My work on the University of New Hampshire PLACE project included testing an existing GIS web application, Open GeoPortal, with representative users. The results are published in the UNH Scholars Repository†.

PLACE is a geospatial data repository and search interface for digital collections. Usability testing helped us design features like the gazetteer search and a time slider.

The project was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program.
