Decision makers from the federal level to the state level to town
engineers and resource managers rely on geographic information to help
them make better decisions, and the use of geographic information is
increasing as both its availability and ease of use improve.  The
National Academies has many activities in this domain, and it is pleased
to introduce its new Geographic Information Center online at
http://gi.nationalacademies.org.  The website provides updates on
current activities and brings together all of the Academies reports on
geographic information, organized by topic area.  The site features case
studies and other highlights of the reports, which are readable and
searchable online for free.

Please don't hesitate to call me if have any questions,
Thank you,
