The MAP Library has made portions of its data collection available in a shared folder accessible from any Academic Workstation in the library system. ArcGIS 9.3 is installed on all of these machines. ArcCatalog should be used to access the data.

Advice for using LC data:

Connecting to data share
Use restrictions: much of the data collection is restricted to UO faculty and students engaged in classroom work and research. Do not share data with outside parties without permission.
Names on this page refer to the folder name for each shapefile on the data share.
All files are ESRI Shapefiles unless otherwise noted.
