Hi all –



This is a great opportunity for any library looking to get involved with
civic data in their community. This comes from Civic Switchboard, an
IMLS-supported effort to build capacity for academic and public libraries
in civic data ecosystems. (Full disclosure: I’m part of the project team.)



Please pass along to anyone who might be interested.



Toby



Library and Data Friends,

Today we are excited to open the call for proposals for Civic Switchboard 2020
