IU Staff Streamline Use of Indiana Geographic Data

As useful as high resolution geographic image data is of the state of Indiana, large file sizes created a barrier for their use. The Indiana Geographic Information Council recently recognized three Indiana University staff members for developing a user-friendly mechanism for downloading multiple files from the Indiana Spatial Data Portal (ISDP), a large repository of Indiana geospatial data.
