GIS Education
We've been continually adding GIS Education resources to our website!
We recently added a listing of colleges and universities that offer graduate and post-graduate studies in GIS and related disciplines.
In addition to this, we've been locating Free on-line GIS, CAD, GPS and related tutorials that will allow you to do some extra studying from home without having to leave your PC
you'll find these resources at http://www.geocomm.com/links/education/index.html
ArcView users' views regarding Training
Is ArcView training worthwhile? What's the best approach to take? What
books are best to get up and running with ArcView? Bill Huber has compiled
the findings of a survey to help answer these questions.

The ESRI Virtual Campus provides online training modules for a variety of ESRI topics. This module begins with an overview of ArcInfo 8, then moves into a discussion of
each of the new applications—ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox. Next, you
will learn about supported data formats and the new geodatabase data model. You

instruction on the new standard Windows and Visual Basic for Applications
customization environment in ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

Webmapping - Where to Start?
The big question nowadays seems to be... how do I get my maps on the web? Depending on your requirements, creating
hyperlinked imagemaps of your data themes may suffice. An excellent tool that will enable you to easily accomplish this in ArcView is ImageMapper.
Check out our detailed review of the product and even get a free demo version to try for yourself.
If you want to install a map server and serve dynamic maps over the web, I suggest you start by browsing our extensive
list of web map servers and other useful software. You'll find the list at software.geocomm.com/utilities/webmapping/
If you want to see some examples of actual websites using various technologies, we've listed over 100 examples for you on our
webmapping examples page at www.geocomm.com/links/webmaps.html. This page is constantly being updated so be sure to keep checking in. Be sure
to let us know when your server is up and running so we can list your site here.
