GIS in the University Libraries
At Ball State University, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Research and Map Collection (GRMC) in Bracken Library offers a suite of services and support for all geospatial endeavors by our students, faculty and staff.
Members of the Ball State community can request geospatial software, use both local and global datasets maintained on the libgis data server, receive one-on-one consultation, request topic specific classroom instruction sessions, and have access to our 28 station GIS computer lab.
Please call 765-285-1097, or send an email to gislibs@bsu.edu for GIS assistance.
Ball State maintains an educational license with Esri; commercial use of Esri's software through this license is prohibited.
