Welcome to the Cartographic Information Center (CIC)!
The Cartographic Information Center is part of
the Department of Geography and Anthropology under the College of Arts
and Sciences of Louisiana State University. The Center, which is
open to the general public, maintains a collection consisting of two
main parts, material owned by the Department of Geography and
Anthropology, and the GPO Federal Depository material housed under a selective housing
agreement with the Regional Depository
Library in Middleton library. The material in the Cartographic
Information Center consists of maps, globes, journals, monographs,
photographs, slides, and atlases. Patrons using the collection include
the faculty and students in the Department of Geography and
Anthropology and from other geoscience departments (Geology and
Geophysics, the Basin Research Institute, and the Coastal Studies
Institute). Beyond the geosciences, the Center serves many patrons from
the College of Design and the greater Louisiana State University
community as well as local businesses, Louisiana state agencies, and
the general public.
