Geographically related queries form nearly one-fifth of all queries submitted to the Excite search engine and the most frequently occurring terms are names of places. This paper focuses on digital libraries and extends the basic services of existing library management systems to include new ones that are dedicated to geographic information extraction, retrieval and visualization. We report on some experimentation with these services in order to manage geospatial data within tourist and educational software.
