GRMC Celebrates National Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day
The Geospatial Resources & Map Collection (GRMC) on the second floor of Bracken Library is celebrating National Geography Awareness Week November 17-21, 2008, including GIS Day on November 19.
The theme for the 2008 National Geography Awareness Week is “The Americas.” The GRMC is featuring an exhibit of National Geographic’s Americas map. Each day ten questions will be listed next to the map in the front window of the GRMC. Test your geographic knowledge with this daily geography challenge. The goal is to answer the questions without looking at the accompanying map.
The GRMC is also hosting a GIS Day Open House from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 19. Visitors can discover how to access online and in-house GIS data, learn how GIS is being used by various departments at Ball State University, learn about in-house and online GIS tutorials, and request access to GIS software, workshops, and one-on-one training.
Please contact the GRMC at 765/285-1097 for more information about National Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day.
