Rodgers Library is hosting a software workshop for ArcGIS at the library’s Scholars Station on Thursday at 2 p.m. Seating will be limited, so students and faculty planning to attend are asked to register in advance online. The ArcGIS software allows users to create, share, manage and analyze maps and is available in both Gorgas and Rodgers Libraries. The workshop will show attendees the story maps feature, which is a system of maps created with a cloud-based mapping and GIS system called ArcGIS Online. There will be tutorials on creating and publishing maps online and attendees will learn how to use text, photos, audio and video in their online posts. University Libraries and the department of geography will host the tutorial. Steven Ericson, an instructor in the geography department, will lead the workshop.
