ArcGIS Pro is Esri's new generation of desktop GIS software. It provides a new ribbon user interface, and improved cartographic features, as well as all the processing tools that are familiar to users of ArcMap.
(ArcMap has been around for two decades, and is being replaced by ArcGIS Pro. See the Esri announcement from 2020.)
In the library
ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap are currently available on the public computers at the following locations:
- Mann Library -- public computers, Stone Classroom, and B30A and B30B classrooms
ArcMap will no longer be available at Mann Library after Dec. 31, 2023

(Don't worry -- ArcGIS Pro will still be available!)

- Students currently enrolled in a GIS course -- contact your instructor
- Others -- contact Mary Colomaio at mcc298@cornell.edu

- Esri's ArcGIS Pro quick-start tutorials cover the basics
- The Esri Training Catalog offers many free courses
- Various ArcGIS books and e-books are available via the Cornell Library catalog
