Where
Am I? GIS National Parks Pop Quiz
The
National Park Service is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year. The agency was created to manage and preserve
all the national parks, historic sites, and monuments of the United States on
August 25, 1916.
ESRI,
the world’s leading producer of GIS software, has created a Story Map using aerial images of
national parks; viewers have to guess which park is being depicted. Once users choose the “Where am I?” button, a
map of the national park is displayed with a link to the park Web page.
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC)
consolidates one-on-one research assistance from the GIS Specialist with the
GIS Research Area, which offers access to ESRI GIS software and online
tutorials, datasets, online mapping applications, and in-house GIS data. GIS software is also available throughout
Bracken Library, in the Architecture Library, and in the Science-Health Science
Library.
For
more information about using GIS software, please contact the GRMC at
