GIS) data. It allows users to search and browse the GIS collections owned by Stanford University Libraries, as well as data collections from many other institutions. Data can be searched spatially, by manipulating a map; by keyword search; by selecting search limiting facets (e.g., limit to a given format type); or by combining these options.</p> <p class="p1"> </div></div></div> Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:46:51 +0000 Jack Reed 66359 at https://library.stanford.edu Data Day 2015: Slides and video now online https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/stanford-libraries-blog/2015/04/data-day-2015-slides-and-video-now-online <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Did you miss Data Day 2015?
