Data Holdings 
The GIS program maintains a digital database of GIS files available to the campus on the networked T:/Atlas folder. The database is an extensive collection of GIS layers for the northern Adirondacks and St. Lawrence Valley. Regional and statewide coverages are also available.
For a complete list of available datasets, check the Digital Atlas page.
To access the data you will need a computer with GIS software and a network connection. For a list of locations on campus with GIS software check the Facilities page.
