GIS HELP and RESOURCES

Please consider the following self-help GIS resources:

1. Contact Tracy Kugler who is Dawn's grad student campus GIS assistant.
   Her Winter 2010 office hours are Tuesdays 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. and Fridays 11:00 - noon in the Digital Earth Lab (Wilkinson 210).

2. Send your question to the OSU Campus listserve (you don't need to be subscribed)
   arcinfo@lists.oregonstate.edu
   To subscribe to the arcinfo list CLICK HERE
   
   
3. Don't forget about the desktop documentation that comes with the software, O R ArcGIS Desktop Help Online.
   
   
4. Try the ESRI Knowledge Base and Support Center

5. Check out the ArcGIS Desktop Tutorials or the ESRI YouTube Channel

6. Try the GIS Cookbook or the University of Arkansas Libraries' ArcGIS 9 Tutorial
   
   
7. ArcUser Online (www.esri.com/news/arcuser/index.html)

8. Anyone can order ESRI documentation at a 30% discount via our site license. See www.geo.oregonstate.edu/esri/site2.html#docs. These are great long-term resources, if you need hardcopy.

9. Also, the College of Forestry has a GIS help desk and tips page:
   www.fsl.orst.edu/helpdesk/gis/
   www.fsl.orst.edu/helpdesk/gis/intro.html
   

10. Dawn has also put together a couple of GIS resource pages for self-help:
    dusk.geo.orst.edu/arc/links.html
    dusk.geo.orst.edu/de/de_tips.html
    dusk.geo.orst.edu/buffgis/bufflinks.html
    www.geo.oregonstate.edu.html/esri/esri_distrib.html#train

    It will take a while to search through them, but hopefully they will be of great help.

11. Also, the Valley Library has a dedicated GIS workstation on the 2nd floor, complete with ArcGIS 9.x, ArcView 3.x., and other goodies. Contact the librarians in the Valley Library, 3rd floor map room for more information.
