GIS Day Mapping Workshops
at Ball State University Libraries
Next week is Geography
Awareness Week, and Wednesday, November 19 is National GIS Day. The Ball State University Libraries and the Ball
State University GIS Knowledge Group are hosting GIS mapping workshops to mark
the occasion.
The workshops will be held
in the GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) on the second floor of Bracken Library
(BL 224). The workshops are open to
students, faculty, and staff, and all levels of GIS knowledge—from beginning to
advanced—are welcome.
ArcGIS
Online mapping workshop
will be from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday. Angela Gibson, Ball State University Libraries’
GIS Specialist, will explain the mapping features and how to access them. Attendees will learn to set up a BSU ArcGIS
Online account or class group; add and search for content; use analysis tools;
and discover available apps like Business Analyst Online, ArcGIS Pro, or
Community Analyst.
Joel Bump, Data Systems
manager and Developer for the State of Indiana, will present ArcPad Basics from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. in
the GRMC. This high-level demonstration
explains using ArcPad for field inventory.
This class will define an item users can inventory; explain setting up a
data file and related form; setting up a basic map for ArcPad; and detail
collecting data points and using the data in ArcMap.
Bump will present Advanced ArcPad from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. This workshop will be more interactive with
participants discussing topics and asking questions about alternative data
sources, the integration of photographs or related tables, or the use of
various hardware options.
