This project aims to summarize some of the resources available to Penn State students studying conflict. These resources include both library and non-library, geospatial and non-geospatial resources to help synthesize information relevant to the study of conflict. Provided is a case study regarding conflict in the Middle East, and resources which could be used to study it.This project was created as an educational resource by a Maps and GIS Assistant of the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information, Penn State University Libraries. ul-maps@lists.psu.edu

The world is shifting. Recent events point to urgent needs for new design approaches and solutions. Geodesign provides a revolutionary way forward -- capitalizing on dynamic geospatial technologies to facilitate collaborations that result in true community engagement. This leads to adaptive and resilient strategies at any scale of the built and natural environment. Here you can see how professionals are advancing their skills to take advantage of new technologies and processes. Penn State’s online Geodesign graduate programs (in the Landscape Architecture Dept.) have an excellent 8-year record of helping ignite and retool careers. Options include taking a course for professional development, signing up for the one-year Graduate Certificate, or going for the Master in Professional Studies (MPS) in Geodesign.

The attribute tables holds the following information:LEED_RATE - Gold, Silver, Platinum based on official LEED certification. Includes all buildings in the SOMA district. Includes LEED buildings that are not owned by PSU.BUILDINGID - Building acronym. Do not use this as a building unique identifier. LONGNAME - Official long name of building.Owned_Leas - Owned means PSU owns, manages and operates building for PSU use. Leased means the building is being leased (Crown Plaza, Pepco and UTS). Partnership means that PSU is in contract or agreement to use the space (CLSB). Other means PSU does not own or operate building. This data may change up to 2-3 times a year. The Campus Planning Office maintains this information. BLDID_AIM - The Building identification number matches the unique identifier of the Asset Information Managment database (AssetWorks, AimCAD, or the work order request system). Photo - Intended to be an attribute hotlink field, data has not been updated to match the new capital projects website address. Housing - Yes means the building is housing, includes private and PSU housing. Non-PSU housing data sourced from the City of Portland buildings database. ShortName - Shortened building name to accomodate labeling. Seismic - Indicates whether a building has had any seismic retrofit. For additional information ask Capital Archivist Bryce Henry.All other attribute data is sourced from the City of Portland buildings GIS database and additional metadata can be found here: http://www.civicapps.org/datasets/building-footprints-portland

This map documents known historic aerial photography holdings for each of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. The information itself comes from the USDA and holdings of the individual counties based upon a survey conducted during Summer 2017.At the county level, aerials are mainly found in the GIS, Planning Commission, or Tax Assessment Office. This listing is currently incomplete and can be added to by contacting UL-maps@lists.psu.edu

This Story Map includes examples of WWII OSS maps, of which were scanned by the Penn State University Libraries Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information. A selection of maps were also reviewed for key information and content was digitized from georeferenced maps. See the OSS WWII maps from the Penn State Donald W. Hamer Maps and Geospatial Information Center on this site.For more information on the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information, please visit their website.

The Sanborn Fire Insurance Company was established to aid in assessing the risk of insuring properties. Sanborn maps provide a wealth of additional information such as the footprint/size, number of floors, roofing materials, amenities, business types/land uses, etc. Pennsylvania State University owns and has digitized approximately 30,000 sheets of Sanborn maps depicting towns and cities across the state of Pennsylvania.

The Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information promotes and facilitates the use of maps and geospatial information in research, teaching, and learning at Penn State. We are located in the basement of the Central Pattee Library on the University Park campus!The Center's space has a public service desk staffed with student personnel who can answer basic questions during open business hours. Appointments are also available for a more in-depth research consultation.

This map highlights a selection of geographic areas from classes the Penn State Libraries working with course instructors to include a geospatial exercise and instruction session.

A structures (2016) from the USGS with added county information from the PA Counties shapefile from the PA Department of Transportation. This map was created by joining the county information to the structures point data and then overlaying over the counties layer for additional context. The structures layer is searchable by county. The purpose of this map is to enhance the use of these features when seeking information and context on Pennsylvania area. Structures from the USGS: STRUCT_42_Pennsylvania_GU_STATEORTERRITORY.zip: USGS, Website with Staged Products DirectoryMore information on the National Structures Dataset: Structures Data Model and code descriptionNational Structures Dataset FeaturesTypes of structures included: School, College/University, Fire Station/EMS Station, Law Enforcement, Prison/Correctional Facility, State Capitol, Hospital/Medical Center, Ambulance Services, Cemetery, and Post OfficeCounty Data distributed from PASDA, created by the PA Department of TransportationInstructions for filtering structures: 1.
