Research summary

Joshua Sadvari works at the intersection of academic libraries and geographic information systems (GIS), focusing on how libraries teach and support geospatial data skills, mapping tools, and data visualization. Much of the output consists of instructional research guides and workshop materials on tools like ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS StoryMaps, alongside articles on GIS education and outreach in library settings. This work is oriented toward practical library services and teaching rather than traditional academic theory-building.

Publication output spiked sharply in 2020 (likely tied to a burst of instructional guide creation) but has otherwise remained low and fairly steady, averaging under two items per year over the last five years.
