[Libs-Or] REGISTRATION EXTENDED: "GIS and GeoWeb Applications in Libraries" from Amigos Library Services

[Jodie Borgerding]

Join Amigos Library Services for this self-paced GIS class!

GIS and GeoWeb Applications in Libraries

80% of digital data available to us as information users have a geographic component. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is widely used in research, teaching and learning to communicate information in a map format. Through hands-on exercises, pre-recorded demonstrations and lectures, students will receive a thorough overview of mapping resources that will enhance and expose their library’s resources, as well as help them achieve their own personal goals.

Learning Objectives:
·    Develop geospatial information literacy skills
·    Gain an understanding of map and GIS collections and services
·    Learn to use a variety of Geographic Information Systems tools
·    Learn the difference between types of geographic information, how to find them, how to use them, and how to critique them
·    Be exposed to and appreciate a variety of different types of geographic information that are used for mapping, analyses, and interpretation

This course will be using software that is compatible with PC and Mac. Specific software installs include Google Earth, and optional is GIS open source program QuantumGIS (QGIS).

This is an asynchronous, self-paced course: asynchronous learning does not require real-time interaction; instead, content is available online for students to access when it best suits their schedules, and assignments are completed to posted deadlines.

This course consists of four modules with a new module opening each week:
·    Tuesday July 6
·    Tuesday July 13
·    Tuesday July 20
·    Tuesday July 27
