   GISc Help Desk 

Welcome to the San Francisco State University GISc Help Desk, administered by the Institute for Geographic Information Science. The IGISc GISc Help Desk is here to assist the campus GIScience community with resource, data, and technical questions. The IGISc offers help in GIS and remote sensing to those who have basic questions. As we do not have enough staff to cover walk-in or phone questions, please email your questions to igisc@sfsu.edu, and we will direct your question to the person who is most qualified to answer it. Please follow the guidelines for submitting technical support when contacting the GISc Help Desk. Please be advised that the help desk is in place to answer questions about GIS/Remote Sensing for those who already have a basic knowledge. If you need training, you should consider signing up for our short courses, or if you need more specific training, one-on-one tutoring is available for a fee.

The Help Desk is intended to provide support for both general GIScience questions and specific questions regarding the technical use of the following GIS/Remote Sensing software products:

  • ArcGIS 8.x/9.x
    • ArcGIS Desktop: ArcView
    • ArcGIS Desktop: ArcEditor
    • ArcGIS Desktop: ArcInfo
    • ArcInfo Workstation
  • ArcIMS 4.x/9.x
  • ArcSDE 9.x
  • ArcPad 6.x
  • ArcView GIS 3.x
  • Leica/ERDAS Imagine 8.x
  • Leica Photgrammetry Suite

If you have questions, start by checking the GISc Knowledge Base, where you will find answers to common GIScience problems. Users of the Institute for Geographic information Science may submit GIS/Remote Sensing technical questions which will be answered within two (2) business days. All questions and answers will also be included in the GISc Forum.

Users of the GISc Help Desk are encouraged to provide feedback on the quality of the service received and the clarity and usefulness of the responses received. This input will provide valuable assistance in the further development of the GISc Help Desk.
