The geospatial information services librarian at Baruch College, Frank Donnelly, will be leading a workshop (offered three times over the next few months) for any CUNY grad students or faculty. Here is his description:
This semester I will be running a day-long workshop entitled “Introduction to GIS using Open Source Software.” GIS is software that you can use for doing geographic analysis (study neighborhoods, target markets, visualize data geographically) and making maps.
The workshop is open to Baruch students (undergraduate, graduate, and CAPS), faculty and staff, and CUNY graduate students, faculty, and staff. The software we’ll be using is free and open source, which means it runs on any operating system and will be easily accessible to everyone before, during, and after the workshop.
The workshop will be offered three times this semester, 20 seats per session. They’ll be on Fridays from 9am to 4:30pm on:
March 4th (register by Feb 28th)
April 1st (register by March 28th)
May 6th (register by May 2nd)
Registration is $30 and includes a comprehensive tutorial booklet and light breakfast. The workshop will be offered in library room 135.
A course description, a link to the registration page, and course material is available in the GIS LibGuide. The registration page is hosted on the CAPS website.
