Mapping and GIS Services

We can help you create maps and graphics to include in publications, dissertations and theses, or other research and teaching projects. This free service is available to all Western Michigan University faculty, staff and students.

Our services

Using a geographic information system (GIS), our map specialist will work with you to figure out the best way to analyze and visualize your geospatial data.

You can also find computer workstations at Waldo Library equipped with mapping and geospatial software:

• QGIS—Available on all PC workstations.
• ArcGIS Pro (requires University Libraries’ shared GIS account)—Available on workstations in the Graduate Student Commons and engineering computers on the lower level.
