History

In 1991, Professor Duane Marble of The Ohio State University began to build a GIS Master Bibliography to make GIS literature accessible to the public. In 1999, ESRI became curator of the bibliography and incorporated it into the ESRI Training Library.

The purpose of the GIS Bibliography is to:

• Reference all significant GIS literature
• Improve access to GIS literature by providing a comprehensive index
• Show changes in the content and volume of GIS literature through time

The GIS Bibliography currently contains references to a significant portion of GIS literature. ESRI will continue to add to and refine the content of the GIS Bibliography and maintain it as a free service to the GIS community.
