What is GIS?A GIS is a geographic information

system. GIS helps people think

spatially and approach problems

from a geographic perspective.

GIS integrates hardware, software,

and data to help people understand

a wide variety of information about

our world. This spatial data is typically

viewed on digital and hardcopy

maps that reveal patterns, illustrate

problems, and show connections

that are not otherwise evident.

Whether you are an expert, occasional

user, or just interested in understanding

what GIS is, come see how GIS is used

locally by government, academic, and

private industry professionals.
