Title: 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – Where are we now?

Abstract:
 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a suite of computer & digital tools for managing and using spatial data. In this talk I will review the history of GIS in Geography, and I will provide examples of how GIS are currently being used for the public and private sectors to analyze, display, and distribute spatial data. The talk will conclude with a review of GIS resources available at CSU Stanislaus.
