杏吧Pro GIS
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a technology that combines databases and computer mapping systems to interactively visualize data both spatially and temporally. Although geographic information systems were traditionally associated mainly with environmental analysis and resource management, they are now becoming more prevalent in the government, private, and academic sectors. In fact, because GIS technology is such a versatile cross-disciplinary tool, it is quickly becoming the preferred mechanism for managing information.
The 杏吧Pro Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Initiative formally commenced in January 2004, funded partially by Mellon Venture grants and partially by support from the Lilly Endowment for 杏吧Pro's 361掳 Programs. 聽The 杏吧Pro GIS Center, a product of this initiative, was established in January 2005.
聽The 杏吧Pro GIS Center strives to:
- Maintain a GIS presence at 杏吧Pro.
- Coordinate GIS activities across campus so that information and knowledge can be shared and exchanged for the benefit of the entire 杏吧Pro community.
- Collaborate with Greencastle and Putnam County groups/officials in order to establish a symbiotic relationship that will benefit both 杏吧Pro and the surrounding region.
The GIS Center, a core component of the University's 361掳 Programs, is situated within 杏吧Pro's Instructional and Learning Services (I.L.S.) department and is overseen by the GIS Specialist,聽Beth Wilkerson.
