2004 EdUC Proceedings Abstract
 Broadening the Use of GIS on Campus: ArcIMS as E-Reserves Track: Using GIS in Libraries & Museums Author(s): Joshua Been To help facilitate the use of spatial technologies in the classroom, academic institutions can make use of a spatial data delivery system, such as ArcIMS, to deliver course-specific data and GIS projects to users' desktops. Academic libraries, with experience offering course-specific electronic reserves, as well as Web development, are in a strong position to provide this access to spatial data using a variety of user access methods. Using the course reserves system that academic libraries and professors are already familiar with, requests for spatial data and maps to be made available to specific courses are simplified. The library's experience with Web development then enable these spatial reserves to be accessed through a Web browser, the free ArcExplorer client, and the ArcInfo products.
