Provides user with custom map products.

6. GeoResources Institute MSU GeoLibrary Pilot: Browse Available Data Users select specific data types like DRGs, DOQQs, satellite images, DEMs, and other data types and see a wireframe of boundaries for areas where the data are available in the library.

7. GeoResources Institute MSU GeoLibrary Pilot: Refine the Area of Interest In the map interface, users “zoom into” to an area of interest and use the cursor to set the boundaries to drill down to data sets.

8. GeoResources Institute MSU GeoLibrary Pilot: Select specific data and create output The user selects specific data files from the available data and custom output is created.
