Abstract:
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Committee at the J. Willard Marriott Library of the University of Utah is working in collaboration with the Geologic Mapping Program of the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) and the Marriott Library's Institutional Repository to generate a web-based interactive geologic map using CONTENTdm. The University's Department of Geology and Geophysics thesis maps will be scanned, so as to provide both preservation and access to a difficult-to-access resource. These geologic maps will be retrievable via a mouse click on a State of Utah web-map.
