At IU, how do I obtain ESRI tutorials?

Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) provides PDF software tutorials with concise and easy-to-follow directions for using ESRI's software products. These ArcGIS software tutorials give step-by-step instructions for learning how to perform data analysis functions. See the following tutorial resources:

  • ArcGIS Desktop Resource Center:

    1. Access via this link or from ArcGIS. From the Help menu in ArcMap or ArcCatalog, select ArcGIS Desktop Resource Center.
    2. A web browser will open to the ESRI Resource Center for ArcGIS Desktop.
    3. In the "Getting Started" section, select Tutorials and Videos, and then choose a topic. Use the links provided to open PDF versions of the tutorials, or to view animations based on the tutorials.

  • PDF tutorials: These PDF tutorials are installed with ArcGIS Desktop. Open Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Documentation. To view the tutorials, you must have Adobe Reader installed.

  • Exercise data for PDF tutorials: The exercise data for the above PDF tutorials requires a separate installation. From IUware Online, download ArcGIS 9.3 Tutorial Data. Once installed, the exercise data will be located at C:\ArcGIS\ArcTutor.

  • Tutorials in IUB STCs: At Indiana University Bloomington, the ArcGIS tutorials are available in the Student Technology Centers (STCs). From the Start menu, select Programs > Departmentally Sponsored > GIS > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Desktop 9.x Tutorial Data. All data on the R: drive (apps$) is read-only. To modify or edit data, move it to another directory with write access.

  • Tutorials in IUPUI STCs: At IUPUI, the ArcGIS tutorials are available in the STCs. Open Windows Explorer to C:\ArcGIS\ArcTutor.

  • The ESRI Store sells hard-copy documentation manuals, GIS books, and geographic data. In addition, the Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop workbook includes a 180-day trial version of ArcGIS 9.x on CD and a data CD for exercises.
