<p class="MsoNormal">Course runs May 2 – 31, 2022<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This is an asynchronous, self-paced course: asynchronous learning does not require real-time interaction; instead, content is available online for students to access when it best suits their schedules, and assignments are completed to
posted deadlines.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the emergence of easily accessible dynamic online mapping tools, there has been a drastic increase in geographic interest and awareness. 80% of digital data available to us as information users have a geographic component. Geographic
Information System (GIS) technology is widely used in research, teaching, and learning to communicate information in a map format.<br>
<br>
This course will introduce students to a variety of mapping tools and GIS technologies such as Google Earth and the creation of dynamic KML files; ArcGIS Online and web map publishing; GIS fundamentals with geospatial data creation. Students will be able to
apply their GIS skills in their reference work, digitization projects, webpages, library instruction, and more. Through hands-on exercises, pre-recorded demonstrations, and lectures, students will receive a thorough overview of mapping resources that will
enhance and expose their library’s resources, as well as help them achieve their own personal goals.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Learning is done by doing. This course has up to two assignments in weeks 2-4. Although they won't be graded, feedback will be offered. This course will be using software that is compatible with PC and Mac. Specific software installs include
Google Earth, and optional is GIS open-source program QuantumGIS (QGIS).<o:p></o:p></p>
