ArcGIS

ArcGIS (Geographical information system) is software used for creating/ viewing maps, compiling geographic data, sharing/ discovering geographic information, and managing a range of geographic databases.  

The system provides an infrastructure for making maps and geographic information available openly on the Web.

Within University Libraries ArcGIS is available on computers in:

• Centennial Science and Engineering Library
  • DEN 1 (workstations along the wall near the low shelves of reference materials near the Circulation Desk)
  • MAGIC

• Save often, in case the software crashes

• Automate workflow to reduce time wasted on redundant process by using batch processing.

• If printing work, be sure to print as a PDF file, not MXD.
