GeoLibrary

GeoLibraries are internet locations to find geospatial data and metadata. The NEERS GeoLibrary provides links to on-line sources of geospatial data principally within the geographic scope of NEERS. Many of these libraries utilize GIS products (e.g., ESRI's MapCafe or ArcIMS to serve up data such as orthophotography over the internet using a browser (i.e., thin client is the GIS buzz word!). MIT is working with several states to serve up high quality orthophotography with geographic coordinates at no expense to the user. This page also provides links to sites containing glossaries and tools.

Truly amazing are the historic panoramas available at the Library of Congress. To appreciate these files, download them to you hard drive, download the MrSid viewer and pan and zoom! The detail is phenomenal. You can also view these files in ArcView 3.1 or higher, if you activate the MrSid extension.
