About the Book

Exploring the potential of geographic information systems (GIS) applications in higher education administration, this issue introduces professionals working in institutional research to a powerful presentation and analysis tool. With examples of actual GIS applications from several higher education institutions, chapters provide institutional researchers and other campus administrators innovative approaches to working with the spatial component of their data, an often unrecognized opportunity in institutional research.
