Point locations were generated using geocoding in Arcview from the public libraries address list provided by the State Library of North Carolina on 3/20/03. Points that could not be generated using geocoding were interactively added in arcedit using mapquest.com. This digital file is updated as changes occur.
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for point topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.
These data represent the locations of Public Libraries in North Carolina as listed by the State Library of North Carolina. The locations were either address-matched using ArcView geocoding or matched manually using mapquest.com.
The majority of Public Libraries were generated using geocoding in Arcview. The point generated in the processing would be snapped to the road identified in the address field. Therefore, point locations are coincident with the GDT roads data.
