DataBits Newsletter, Fall 2003

Theresa Valentine and Don Henshaw discuss their approach to the marriage of tabular and spatial data at the
Andrews LTER. Barrie Collins gives his take on ArcIMS, ESRI, and his management philosophy. We are
exposed to adding internet spatial visualization to environmental projects when Peter McCartney discusses
three internet map applications produced by The Center for Environmental Studies, Arizona State University.
Also in this issue a move towards maximizing the spatial aspect of the LTER Network is taken with a new
Network-wide survey.

DataBits continues as a semi-annual electronic publication of the Long Term Ecological Research Network. It is
designed to provide a timely, online resource for research information managers and to incorporate rotating coeditorship. Availability is through web browsing as well as hardcopy output. LTER mail list IMplus will receive
DataBits publication notification. Others may subscribe by sending email to majordomo@lternet.edu with two
