This document discusses how location data and geolocation technologies can inform library strategies. It defines key terms like geolocation, GPS, GIS, and geotagging. It explores how libraries can use location data to better understand user behaviors, target services, and analyze traffic patterns. Location-based social media and applications are also examined as opportunities to engage users beyond physical library walls. The document advocates for libraries to leverage location data to improve user experiences, outreach, and strategic decision making.
