GIS Week Nov. 17-21, 2008

The Boston College Libraries have partnered with ITS Research Services for over 10 years to support the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in both teaching and research across campus. Mapping data is a part of our daily lives with more people using Google Earth and Google Maps everyday and interactive mapping such as we experienced throughout Election Day.


Learn more about GIS at our workshops offered to both faculty and students every semester. These hands on sessions highlight our GIS data collection and demonstrate how GIS is used on campus and throughout the world. For more information about our collection and software go to our research guide: Finding Spatial Data for Mapping


For local and nationwide events this week go to GIS Day website. Click on "find an event near you".
