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.
David Heald, database analyst and Stephanie Snider, GIS specialist, both of University Information Technology Services, and Nathan Eaton, information services manager of IU’s Indiana Geological Survey, received the Indiana GIS Award during the Council’s annual conference.
