Class on mapping applications offered to students, staff and faculty

The University Libraries will host a workshop on mapping applications for students, staff and faculty on October 1, in W315 Pattee Library.

The workshop will consist of a series of presentation slides highlighting the key features, data sources and display capabilities of the following mapping applications: PolicyMap, SimplyMap and Social Explorer. These applications are available by subscription via the University Libraries. Participants will learn how to understand the process of selecting and displaying data, where to locate information on data sources and more. Following the presentation, participants will complete a hands-on portion to gain experience navigating each application. Participants are encouraged to create a map using each application at the end of the session.

If you anticipate needing accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact Tara Lalonde at 814-863-5753/ tll38@psu.edu.
