Workstations

We have four computers for our GIS patrons. The machines are CCI towers, with large 20" flat screen monitors. Patrons not affiliated with the University can use the E-Docs U-Install machine; this computer has ArcGIS installed as well. Please note that ArcGIS may be used for non-commercial uses only.

We have a black and white printer and a color printer for printing maps on standard 8.5 x 11 paper. Please note: printing is only available when the Reference Department is open. Only maps created using GIS or Census Maps may be printed from the GIS printers. See our hours and policies for more information.
