Hesburgh Libraries

This workshop was originally scheduled for Friday, March 17.

This workshop will teach you the foundations of mapping in ESRI’s ArcGIS Online platform. ArcGIS Online is a browser-based GIS platform that allows users to create, visualize, and manipulate spatial data. Whether you are interested in working with larger datasets or creating maps to add to a class project or senior thesis, ArcGIS Online offers an excellent workspace for researchers who are beginning to work with GIS.

After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Gather, create, manage, and display spatial data in ArcGIS Online.
2. Use the filters tool to answer questions with spatial data.
3. Create data visualizations using the styles tool.

Prerequisites:

1. This workshop is designed with the novice GIS user in mind.
2. If you do not already have access to the campus GIS network, you will receive an invitation before the workshop. Please activate your account prior to the workshop.
3. Participants are expected to bring a computer to the session.

This session will be presented by one of the NFCDS Pedagogy Fellows. For more information about this program, please visit cds.library.nd.edu/nfcds-pedagogy-fellowship.
