Finding GIS Data
Wednesday February 16th
3-4 PM
In honor of Love your Data week, we present a workshop on GIS data discovery. Finding GIS data can be difficult. However, there are many databases and sources that make finding GIS data easier. This workshop will cover a variety of places to search for data sources, including US Government sources, non-profits, census data and collaborative geoportals. Some library licensed spatial data sources, such as SimplyAnalytics will also be presented.
This workshop will be held in person and virtually. To attend in person, please come to the Digital Scholarship Lab in the Main Library on the second floor of the west wing.

Both ESRI and Knight Labs Story Maps combine narrative text, images and other content with maps allowing for the creation of spatially based narratives for the web. Story Maps are an easy-to-use powerful tool for presentation of all kinds of information to a public audience. They are great for classroom projects. In this workshop, we will compare the ESRI and JS versions of StoryMap and learn how to use Story Maps incorporating a variety of media types and formats.
