This central data repository is shared over the Internet to save time, money, and computer resources. Idaho Geospatial Data Center (IGDC) was created by the collaborative research team from the University of Idaho ( Department of Geography and the UI Library), the Lewis Clark State College (LCSC), and the Idaho Geological Survey. This research project was funded by a major grant from the Idaho Board of Education's Technology Incentive Program. The infrastructure is comprised of the GeoLibrary software that allows access and retrieves all Digital Line Graphs (DLGs), Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs), Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and Tiger boundary files for the state of Idaho, and a detailed tutorial to assist the public to access the data. Additionally the site provides interactive links to other Idaho and national spatial data repositories. Project Participants include: Dr. Piotr Jankowski, an associate professor in the Geography Department, University Of Idaho, Lily Wai, Head of Government Documents, Maria Jankowska, Network Resources Librarian, at the University of Idaho Library, Loudon Stanford, Production Manager/Geologist at the Idaho Geological Survey, and Dr. William Heins, Assistant Professor in Division of Natural Sciences at the Lewis & Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho.
