Abstract
This review provides an outline of the solution the University of Manitoba Libraries has implemented to integrate their ESRI Educational Site License. In looking at the tools available the project came to encompass the following:1. Semi-automated management and integration of UM ESRI site license using campus authentication methods2. Discovery and access point for proprietary and open researcher data3. Secure local environment for active-use geospatial datasets using ArcGIS EnterpriseThe following discusses the software specifics, use cases, and lessons learned in a Canadian academic library context.

While the project began as a solution to address the lack of storage and management options for active-use geospatial data on campus, upon stepping back, it evolved into a solution for the semi-automated management and integration of the university’s site license, a discovery and access point for proprietary and open researcher data as well as that secure local environment piece
Summary
The following examines the integration of the University of Manitoba’s ESRI Educational Site License into what is referred to as UM GISHub. The major impetus for this project was the current push for research to contain a formal data management plan and there was a gap in campus infrastructure needed to support it. While the project began as a solution to address the lack of storage and management options for active-use geospatial data on campus, upon stepping back, it evolved into a solution for the semi-automated management and integration of the university’s site license, a discovery and access point for proprietary and open researcher data as well as that secure local environment piece
