Mission Statement

In cooperation with campus certification and degree programs in GIS, the mission of the library's GIS Program is to continuously increase the use and literacy of GIS at the University of Texas at Arlington. The library's GIS Program is dedicated to providing faculty, students, and staff with access to GIS applications, spatial and attribute data sets, assistance and basic instruction, and necessary computers and other hardware

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems that aid in the management and analysis of geographically referenced data. GIS allows the user to link location or spatial data with tabular data in order to see relationships and patterns. If you have a map, tabular data, a computer, a GIS software program and a question, you can utilize GIS to answer your question.

See definitions of geographic information systems on the Web from Google.
