UMBC now has a subscription to PolicyMap, a GIS tool that allows users to create maps, tables, and reports from a variety of datasets ranging from demographics, income, health, education, more. Maps can be created as single sheets or with multiple layers from the zip code / block level to worldwide.

Users can create individual accounts to save, share, and print work. A suite of tutorials is available to help both new and experienced users work with the tool effectively.

Feedback is appreciated and any problems should be reported promptly to Library staff.
