The Florida Region of ASPRS sponsored and exhibited at the University of Florida's GIS Day, an event that was coordinated by Carol Mcauliffe, the University's Map and Imagery librarian. The event  was attended by P.K Young High School Geography students, in addition to a number of University of Florida students, professors and staff. The GIS day was a huge success, with a poster competition, and a number of speakers discussing their career's in GIS. Among the speakers was our very own Al Karlin, who made the trip up from Brooksville, to speak about ASPRS, Certification and his experiences working in GIS. The Florida Region donated a $50 check and $50 worth of ASPRS Bookstore Bucks to the winner of the UF GIS Day competition.

There were also two presentations of interest pertaining to Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry: The first was entitled "Providing Access to Geospatial Data Collections at the University of Florida using EVGeoCloud" by Carol McAuliffe, where she showcased how the University is using new web based technologies in order to make their maps more accessible to the user community.

The interesting presentation was from Mark Sullivan and Matt Peters of the University's George A. Smathers Library "Unearthing St. Augustine's Colonial Heritage : An Interactive Digital Collection for the Nation's Oldest City" where they showcased the ability to geo-reference aerial imagery and historical maps directly in a web based environment.
