ESRI Unveils The ArcGIS Book: 10 Big Ideas about Applying Geography to Your
World
ESRI, the world’s leading supplier
of Geographic Information System (GIS) software, Web GIS, and geodatabase management
applications, has created The ArcGISBook: 10 Big Ideas about Applying Geography to Your World.
From ESRI: The book “explores Web GIS in ten chapters,
each focused on one big idea. You will
learn how to do new things with GIS and accomplish familiar tasks more quickly
and easily. For inspiration on what you
can do with Web GIS, the book includes links to hundreds of live examples of
web maps and apps as well as videos of thought leaders sharing their vision for
what you can accomplish by adopting the Web GIS concepts.”
In each of the ten
chapters, Quickstarts tell you what
you need to know about the software, data, and web resources that pertain to
that aspect of the ArcGIS system. The Learn ArcGIS Lessons pages are your
gateways to online, hands-on tutorials from Learn
ArcGIS website.
“The intended audience for The ArcGIS Book is diverse: from GIS professionals expanding into online
mapping to information workers in every field who recognize the power of maps
to communicate information clearly.” And
the book is available in print, as a downloadable PDF, and as an interactive
Web page.
The Ball State University
Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) on the second floor of
Bracken Library offers access to ESRI GIS software and online GIS tutorials,
datasets, online mapping applications, in-house GIS data, and one-on-one
assistance from the GIS Specialist. The
GIS Research Area is equipped with 28 high-end Lenovo ThinkCentre N58
computers, and faculty may reserve the area for instructional or working lab
sessions.
