Abstract
University of Maryland Campus GIS Survey
Track: User Presentations - Research
Authors: Lara Otis
The University of Maryland conducted a campuswide survey of GIS users in fall 2012 with the goal of collecting background information before moving ahead with building an enterprise GIS system to facilitate data sharing. The survey went through Institutional Review Board approval, and was sent out by a newly formed campus GIS steering committee. Subjects addressed included the type of GIS software used, profiles of campus GIS users, data storage and acquisition methods, instruction preferences, and GIS support priorities. The survey results will be summarized and follow-ups to date will be shared.
