Digital Learning Educational Innovation Across Northwestern

Kelsey Rydland, GIS and Data Analyst, Northwester University Libraries
GIS is software that displays and analyzes information related to a geographical location. The power of GIS is it's ability examine a wide variety of data in various combinations to understand the interrelationship between it. This workshop will introduce you to Esri ArcGIS Desktop software as well as ArcGIS Online web mapping to show you a range of ways that researchers can make use of GIS analysis in their research. We will also discuss the GIS software and services available at Northwestern University Libraries.
