ESRI showcases users' GIS stories

Redlands, California—ESRI has created a free, downloadable case study series that tells the stories of real-world users succeeding with geographic information system (GIS) technology in many disciplines such as agriculture, forestry, law enforcement, mining, and public works. These GIS Best Practices booklets are discipline-driven collections of previously published ESRI articles that highlight successful GIS projects, suggest solutions for GIS challenges, and help GIS users develop their business cases.

To date, ESRI has published more than a dozen GIS Best Practices booklets, in PDF format, on a variety of topics such as public works, law enforcement, forest assessment, and mining. More than 20 additional titles will become available throughout 2007. For a complete list of the currently available GIS Best Practices booklets, visit here.
