October 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
In this workshop, we’ll learn further GIS tools, work with tables, and begin working with raster data. Participants are expected to have strong familiarity with ArcGIS before registering in this workshop.
ArcGIS is a Geographic Information System (GIS); a software program for working with maps and geographic data. A GIS allows you to work with any data that you know a location for (eg. addresses, latitude/longitude, census locations, name of a place…). ArcGIS is available on all the Library computers, and also available for download to the University community. Although similar in some ways to online mapping sites, ArcGIS has greater analytical capabilities and allows you more input and control over your map.
