NMO Survey - Users and Mapping Organisations
If you work for a national or regional mapping organisation we would like to invite you to participate in a survey on the user focus of your mapping organisation. The aim is to explore interest in exchanging knowledge and experience in user focused approaches for identifying user needs and usability of geographic information.
The short questionnaire should take around 20 minutes to complete and will be open until the 2nd December 2011.

Upcoming
Fourth workshop on usability of geographic information: 2D, 3D and moving usability findings into information design
The fourth workshop in a series of workshops focussing on usability of geographic information, is to be held at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK, on 17th January 2012. These workshops aim to build interdisciplinary contacts and share perspectives on research challenges for investigating usability of data products (usability of content, formats, quality etc) - in particular, but not exclusively, geographic information.
Details of previous workshops can be found at the workshops web pages.
More information and call for participation can be found here. (pdf)
