The Evans Library's Digital Scholarship Laboratory includes 5 GIS workstations, each of which has dual monitors.
Basic components of each workstation include:
ESRI Tutorials
ESRI, the company responsible for the ArcGIS software installed on our GIS workstations, offers a variety of online instructional tutorials, some of which are free. To complete these tutorials,
Library Workshops
The library will periodically offer short workshops on the use of GIS software on topics ranging from introductory basics to specialized applications.
Semester-length Courses
Those wishing to take a more comprehensive semester-length course in GIS may seek enrollment in one of the following courses:

Geographic Information Systems and Science
by
Geographic information science (GISc) has established itself as a collaborative information-processing scheme that is increasing in popularity. Yet, this interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary system is still somewhat misunderstood. This book talks about some of the GISc domains encompassing students, researchers, and common users. Chapters focus on important aspects of GISc, keeping in mind the processing capability of GIS along with the mathematics and formulae involved in getting each solution. The book has one introductory and eight main chapters divided into five sections. The first section is more general and focuses on what GISc is and its relation to GIS and Geography, the second is about location analytics and modeling, the third on remote sensing data analysis, the fourth on big data and augmented reality, and, finally, the fifth looks over volunteered geographic information.
Geographic Information Systems in Action
by
Geographic Information Systems in Action, 1st Edition offers content that not only teaches GIS techniques, the ideas behind them, and how they work, but also--through a series of graded, hands-on content oriented activities--challenges students to think through what they are doing and why before going on to practical ArcGIS exercises. This deeper understanding, and the superior problem-solving skills students gain from using the text, will also make them highly valuable employees, in addition to well-informed students.

Marine and Coastal Geographical Information Systems
by
Marine and coastal applications of GIS are finally gaining wide acceptance in scientific as well as GIS communities, and cover the fields of deep sea geology, chemistry and biology, and coastal geology, biology, engineering and resource management. Comprising rigorous contributions from a group of leading scholars in marine and coastal GIS, this book will inspire and stimulate continued research in this important new application domain. Launched as a project to mark the UN International Year of the Ocean (1998) and supported by the International Geographical Union's Commission on Coastal Systems, this book covers progress and research in the marine and coastal realms, in the areas of theory, applications and empirical results. It is the first book of its kind to address basic and applied scientific problems in deep sea and coastal science using GIS and remote sensing technologies. It is designed for GIS and remote sensing specialists, but also for those with an interest in oceans, lakes and shores. Coverage ranges from seafloor spreading centres to Exclusive Economic Zones to microscale coastal habitats; and techniques include submersibles, computer modelling, image display, 3-D temporal data visualization, and development and application of new algorithms and spatial data structures. It illustrates the broad usage of GIS, image processing, and computer modelling in deep sea and coastal environments, and also addresses important institutional issues arising out of the use of these technologies.

GIS for Ecology
by
Ecologists concerned with the spacial aspects of ecology are becoming increasing aware of the possibilities the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) may offer for new research and environmental management applications, but may be dicouraged from using them because of problems with understanding the technology and associated jargon. GIS for Ecology: An Introduction provides a straightforward guide to GIS aimed at students and researchers in ecology and environmental sciences. Based on author's experiences, it introduces fundamental principles of GIS with particular emphasis on data aquisition, handling and analysis.
