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.
