UCD Resource Mapping
Resource mapping - People Places Equipment and Databases
Resource Mapping can be done many ways. For the purposes of E&E we suggest that you consider a two-prone approach. Begin by surveying each department on campus about what types of equipment they have, whether or not it is available for loan, who to call for assistance, etc. You might also consider surveying a small sample of faculty (your UCD team) to see if they have answers for any of the following questions. Once you have the results from both of these methods you can create a handout/ brochure, website or other means of getting this information to faculty. Remember that resource mapping needs to be updated annually as information changes.
Below are links to examples available to faculty and staff for creating a
resource map.
- Graphical (topic-based) Resource Map
- U.Mass. Boston Resource Map A Google maps-style interface with detailed information on campus resources.

- A copy of this section of our web site, with html files and images that you can modify and use.
You may download this file, unzip it, and edit the files in an html editor such as Dreamweaver. The unzipped folder contains a duplicate of our "Resource Mapping" section (stripped of E & E "branding" and links), but ready to be mounted on a web site after you enter your own relevant information.
