GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

having issues opening GIS

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue I am having with opening the ArcGIS program I recently installed on my computer. It seems that I haven’t set the license manager. I tried doing some trouble shooting without success.
    Error message:
    arcgis 10.7 could not connect to an arcgis license manager running on host not set

    Thanks,
    David Sastre

    Hey David,

    I can try to help you troubleshoot. First question is how are you getting access to ArcGIS? ArcGIS isnt free, like QGIS so youll need to purchase a license or have a license provided by an institution. Unfortunately the GC doesnt provide ArcGIS licenses, they just offer it on the library computers.

    Let me know some more details and we’ll take it from there.

    Best,

    Olivia

    Hello Olivia,

    Thank you for responding. I actually posted this question a long time ago but for some reason it popped again. Someone from the arcGIS technical support team helped me solve the issue.

    Best,

    David
