GIS - an Intro for Info Professionals

 

Geographic Information System (GIS) technology combines standard databases
with maps and location-related information such as street addresses, ZIP
codes, and GPS data. GIS is widely used in government, business, and
education for managing geographically referenced data, for creating maps to
show patterns and trends, and for conducting spatial analysis, such as
market research. 

 

Angela Lee, from ESRI, will provide an overview of GIS and the potential
applications of GIS.  Types of GIS software as well as sources of GIS data
will be discussed.
