Q & a

• What is GIS?
• FAQ

Geographic Information Systems at UVM generally means ArcGIS — the industry leading desktop GIS application from ESRI.  UVM has an unlimited site license for ArcGIS. Consequently, the emphasis here is on ArcGIS.  Of course, there are choices for GIS software, and there are many other aspects to GIS at the University of Vermont.  For more general information please visit Dr. Morrissey's Geospatial Technologies page.

July 28, 2008
The UVM license server for ArcGIS has been upgraded to version 9.3.  ArcGIS Desktop 9.3 can now be installed and configured to use the network license server as described in the installation instructions.
 
July 3, 2008
ArcGIS 9.3 has arrived on campus and will soon be available at Bailey-Howe Library or the other usual locations.  Version 9.3 requires an update to the license manager.  New installs configured to use a network license will not work until software has been updated on the UVM license server.  Clients with their own license file and hardware key can use version 9.3 right away as long as they upgrade their license manager along with ArcGIS itself.

ESRI has announced that ArcGIS 9.3 is "available".  Promising new features include enhancements to tables and the Identify Tool, Export-to-KML, improved KML support, HTML Popup Tool, Graphic-to-Feature conversion, Clip-Raster-to-Graphic, and legends that now honor layer transparency.

Service Pack 5 for ArcGIS version 9.2 has been released.  There is a long list of issues addressed.  Version 9.3 is rumored to be slated for an early summer 2008 release.
