Mapping
Olympic Gold
The
2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro wind up this week. The Closing Ceremony begins at 7:00 on
Sunday, August 21. Which countries have
won the most medals? There’s a map for
that.
ESRI,
the world’s leading publisher of GIS mapping software, has created a Story Map that shows how many medals
have been won by each country. Users can
choose to view which countries have won gold medals, silver medals, and bronze
medals. A map showing the total medals
won by each country is also available. A
graphic at the bottom of the page lists the countries and displays their flag.
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC)
consolidates one-on-one research assistance from the GIS Specialist with the
GIS Research Area, which offers access to ESRI GIS software, online tutorials,
datasets, online mapping applications, and in-house GIS data. GIS software is also available on computers
throughout Bracken Library, the Architecture Library, and in the Science-Health
Science Library.
For
more information, please contact the GRMC at 765-285-1097.
