Geospatial Data and Analysis Services is a part of Hillman Library's Digital Scholarship Services. We provide support for locating spatial data and for basic use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software and tools.
Due to the renovation of the ground floor in Hillman Library, the Data Lab is not available. There are four stations on the First Floor and five stations on the Second Floor of Hillman with several GIS applications installed: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Pro.
Need help? You can contact us with questions about GIS or spatial information and our GIS Librarian will get back to you.
Members of the Pitt community can access ArcGIS via the Pitt IT Virtual Computing Lab.

GIS Day is an international celebration of this scientific framework often implemented by using software for gathering, analyzing, and visualizing geographic or georeferenced data.
In 2020, for the first time, GIS enthusiasts from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and a number of community organizations like Draw the Lines organized several exciting events for GIS Day. Please explore gisdaypgh.com to check out the event descriptions and to get an idea of the areas of spatial research that we work and collaborate on..
