GIS Workshops

GIS is an increasingly ubiquitous technology in research, education, and our daily lives. Scholars are discovering the usefulness of GIS data in non-traditional fields such as the humanities and social sciences. The following 1/2 day courses serves as both an introduction to GIS and to its application within an academic & administrative environment. All workshops are in the Keck Learning Room in the Honnold/Mudd Library. Data and documentation for the following GIS workshops is made avaiable in the Keck Learning Room.
