[Michlib-l] Register today to learn more about GIS mapping - Oct. 21

[Heather Ladiski]

Time is running out to register for "Make Your Own Map: Exploring 
Geographic Information Science for Librarians". The deadline to register 
is tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15 at 4:00 pm!

With the escalation of online GIS mapping applications (demographic and 
business databases for example), it is becoming increasingly important for 
librarians to understand and be proficient with these tools; to best serve 
our patrons and conduct research. Learn several different ways of making 
maps and utilizing these resources using both free websites and licensed 
databases.

This expanded presentation will include more information about the full 
GIS software, ArcGIS it's interactive companion, ArcGIS online. The 
demonstration will include uploading a list of addresses to ArcGIS Online 
to create a point map, and will shade in areas of interest to create a 
simple reference map.

This workshop will run on October 21, from, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm (Eastern 
Time Zone). The cost for this online workshop $59.00 per person for MCLS 
members or  $119.00 per person for Non-MCLS members

Group viewing rates are also available. Email me at the information below
