URISA Publications

The URISA Board recognizes the importance of relevant publications and the role they play in our educational mission.  Through the Association's newsletter, conference proceedings, the URISA Journal, a series of special publications, and on-line resources, we are actively seeking to serve URISA members and nonmembers who use URISA materials.

URISA members receive the following publications as part of their membership benefits:

  • URISA Journal - The Journal, contains reports of current research; reports and reviews of system applications; and reviews relating to the design, implementation and evaluation of information systems for federal, state, provincial, regional, and municipal governments. The peer-reviewed Journal is the flagship publication of URISA International and is published two to four times per year.
  • THE GIS PROFESSIONAL - Every other month, URISA members receive their copy of THE GIS PROFESSIONAL (formerly known as URISA News). This publication keeps members informed of the latest developments and industry news along with updates on association activities.
    Check out the debut issue of THE GIS PROFESSIONAL!

  • URISA Digest - Twice monthly, URISA distributes the Digest to its members. This is an informal electronic newsletter containing announcements, reminders, and various pieces of news.
  • URISA Marketplace - URISA members have access to comprehensive listings of GIS & IT job openings via the electronic Marketplace.
