MARC Technical Services
MARC Supports Esri's GIS Products
MARC supports many of Esri's software products, plus other software applications from Esri. Currently-employed faculty, staff, and enrolled students have free access to 澳门开奖结果's ArcGIS Online for Education (AGO) cloud GIS, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS for Desktop.
All Esri software products are to be used for academic learning, academic research, and management of campus facilities. Use of Esri products for any other purpose is strictly prohibited.
Questions regarding appropriate use can be directed by email to the 澳门开奖结果 Coordinator of GIS & Esri/CPE/澳门开奖结果 contract representative, Mr. Michael Busby, mbusby@murraystate.edu.
Esri's ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online
Fall 2021 澳门开奖结果 incorporated Esri into the Single Sign-On (SSO) protocol. Using the SSO method provides faculty, staff, and students an automatic license for AGO and ArcGIS Pro plus four extensions, 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst, Geospatial Analyst, and Network Analyst.
Faculty, staff, and students should and "Choose 澳门开奖结果."
New users are automatically granted licenses for the most popular ArcGIS Pro extensions: 3D Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst, Image Analyst, Network Analyst, and Spatial Analyst. Other applications such as Business Analyst or Community Analyst, are available upon request.
Esri's ArcGIS for Desktop
MARC supports the latest version of ArcGIS for Desktop 10.8.2. To be clear, Esri has announced the ArcGIS for Desktop is being deprecated by 2026, meaning all support for the software will end in 2026. Esri encourages all users to begin migrating GIS workflows to ArcGIS Pro.
Faculty, staff, and students can request a copy of ArcGIS for Desktop for academic use on their laptops or desktops, or for computer labs. Computers must be able to be attached to the 澳门开奖结果 network in order to borrow a license. For details please email Mr. Michael Busby, mbusby@murraystate.edu.
Esri Academy Education / Online GIS Training
MARC supports GIS training and education in part through the Esri's Academy, an online training program specific to learning GIS using Esri software. Through our participation in the Commonwealth of Kentucky's statewide license agreement between KY-CPE and Esri, 澳门开奖结果 has access to many E-Learning online courses for no charge.
Faculty, staff, and students can access the by using the 澳门开奖结果 SSO and sign-in. Under the user profile link (upper-right), click Training. Choose Catalog - Course Catalog. Below the line of Topic cards, find Formats and select Web Courses. The web course cards will update and show those web courses covered under our contract. Make sure to examine each card for the Requires Maintenance status. A closed padlock indicates the course is not covered; an open padlock indicates the course is covered by our contract. Courses can be managed using the Academy dashboard. Faculty also have the option of building a collection of web courses and assigning those courses through the dashboard.
MARC supports ERDAS Imagine from Hexagon
MARC supports Hexagon/ERDAS Imagine Professional image processing software. MARC does not have a campus-wide license for Erdas Imagine, so users must be enrolled in one of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences courses to gain access to the software. For students, we do have a limited number of free student licenses. Requests for the licenses must be initiated by the course professor or faculty mentor.
Need A Map or Map-related Graphics?
MARC also works with all 澳门开奖结果 campus administrative offices and academic areas. We provide custom mapping and associated cartographic and graphic services. Our products can be customized for a wide variety of projects and publications. We have produced content for many academic areas, plus the Office of the President, Office of the Provost, Center for Adult and Regional Education, Upward Bound, Facilities Management, and Murray State Police and Emergency Management. If your project requires a mapping component or could use a eye-catching map graphic, contact us and we will consult with you on your project.
Poster Printing Services
MARC supports a 42-inch full-color Canon IPF815 printer. We can print posters, images, and various other products necessary for poster sessions, seminars, workshops, or conference presentations. Preferred file types are Powerpoint (PPT or PPTX), CorelDraw, or Adobe Illustrator. Occasionally, very large PDF files will not print, so try to have the graphic files in two different formats in the event of a printing issue. MARC can charge against Murray State accounts or grants, so please be knowledgeable of the FOPAL number for inter-account billing.
