Data Collections

GIS manages spatial databases, providing the foundation for a digital library of maps, imagery, and other geographic information. Using ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Image Server, libraries can integrate GIS data from multiple sources into a central database that can be accessed anywhere on campus or through remote patron authentication to support teaching and research.

The GIS Portal Toolkit provides everything needed to provide one-stop access to GIS data collections, including tools for the discovery, transmission, and use of geographic data and mapping services.
