Washington State University Libraries GIS Service Policies
Workstations
Two GIS & Spatial data
workstations are available: one in the Holland and Terrell Libraries at MM&R (Media, Materials, and Resources), and one in the Owen Science and Engineering Library. Each is available whenever that library
is open to the public.
Users must save all work to
a flash drive or to a shared folder; one can also email work to themselves. The workstation drives
will be cleared regularly of user-created files. For more information please
contact the libraries at libweb@wsu.edu.
Training
Learning opportunities (tutorials,
listservs, discussion groups, etc.) are listed on GIS
Training Resources page. In-depth user training will not be provided
by WSU Libraries.
Help available
Guides & Manuals for GIS
are available at the GIS stations and other GIS-related materials
will continue to be added to the general library collection. Search Griffin
for available titles.
Librarians will provide help
in locating and accessing data sets, converting data for use with ArcView,
and answering general questions about ArcView. If questions cannot be answered
librarians will provide referral to help through appropriate sources.
