White
House Opportunity Project Gives Access to Open Data
The
White House announced today the launch of “The Opportunity Project.” According to the official press release, this
is “a new open data effort to improve economic mobility for all Americans.” The data can be used by “technologists,
community groups, and local governments” and many companies and non-profit
organizations, including ESRI—the world’s leading publisher of GIS software—are
committed to the development of the project and its tools.
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) on the
second floor of Bracken Library provides access to the latest ESRI GIS software
and assistance from the GIS Specialist Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 5:00
pm. Students can also access GIS
software on computers throughout Bracken Library during its extended evening
and weekend hours.
