The GLOW Consultative Workflow Model embeds tools and resources developed from conversations with over 100 GIS librarians and support staff during the GLOW initiative. It includes an example of how the workflow might be used to provide a consultation for a faculty member researching broadband access an socioeconomic indicators.
First meetings between GIS librarians and scholars or students are an important time to gauge the scope of the project and align expectations with capacities. These strategies and tactics for initial consultations might make the exchanges more satisfying and productive for everyone.
