EGIconnect
The EGI library catalog presented through the EGIconnect platform is undergoing updates that help define the study area and scope of reports, articles, dissertations, theses and maps more clearly. This update process enables the new EGIconnect search tool to quickly return available EGI library items within or near a client’s area of interest. EGIconnect also has a new EGI library summary tool that generates a list and optional report of all available EGI library items within a client defined area of interest. Lastly, as a reminder, the map layers presented through EGIconnect can always be consumed by client-side GIS applications and ArcGIS online accounts.
