Reference Materials
The Data Lab maintains several GIS-related reference books and tutorials for student and faculty use. The materials are for lab use only and do not circulate. If you wish to use the Tutorial CD or Data CD for a particular book, you must see a Lab Assistant. CDs are kept in the Lab Assistant cabinet and must be checked out by a student.
Tish Library holds numerous books and periodicals on GIS-related subjects. Please see the Tufts University Library Catalog for holdings.
Recommended Reference Materials:
- Mastering ArcGIS with CD – Meredith Price
- GIS Tutorial for Health – Kurland and Gorr
- GIS for the Urban Environment – Maantay and Zeigler
