Geoscience Centre opens in Ottawa

The ribbon has been cut at the Canadian Geoscience Information Centre (CGIC) in Ottawa.

The new centre is an amalgamation of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) library (including the map, geophysics and photo departments) and the National GEOSCAN Centre. (GEOSCAN is a bibliographic database of Canadian geoscience literature.)

While supporting the core library and GEOSCAN programs, the new unit places greater emphasis on special collections, answering enquiries, and database and product development. Office space is shared with the GSC.
