    The Map Library has one public workstation available for GIS use with both ArcView 3.3 and ArcGIS 9 software. We provide reference assistance with locating GIS data in the library and online. You can also use the links above to find online GIS data or learn more about GIS.

    The Map Library and Earth Sciences Library collections have several GIS manuals available for reference use or to check out. We do not provide technical support for the use of GIS software, but offer limited help with opening and viewing data files.

    Please bring a writable CD/DVD or USB flash drive to store your work.
