To find geospatial data, Use the catalog and search keyword.  Add GIS (or Geographic Information Systems) and a place name for the area that you are lookinf for data.

For example:  GIS AND "Fairfax County"

To see all of the Libraries Geospatial Data collection, use the catalog and search keyword (GIS AND data) limited by Fenwick Government Documents.

Geospatial data come from a variety of sources including federal, state, and local government agencies. Mason also collects data from commercial vendors such as ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) and Geolytics. Most of them are in CD-Rom/DVD format and shelved in the drawers in the government documents unit, 1st floor-C wing, Fenwick Library. 

Some of the data sets are available in house use only.  More local data sets are downloadable through the Libraries’ Geospatial Data Server.
