Uncharted: 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should' and other revelations from an analyst turned librarian.

The future of data is many things, and intertwined with it is the future of those of us who act as its shepherd. In this talk, the presenter will discuss their experience over the last four years of taking on a newly created role at a new (to them) university as a single point of service for GIS & Data Visualization support and how they got there. Focus will be placed on development work with ArcGIS Enterprise, research projects conducted but not written up, early career librarianship, and the importance of community.
