Description

Instructor: Kelsey Rydland, GIS and Data Analyst, Northwestern University Libraries
GIS is a software that displays and analyzes information related to a physical location. The power of GIS is the ability to add a wide variety of information and examine it in various combinations to understand the interrelationship between the layers. In this workshop we will use Esri ArcGIS Desktop to examine crime in the City of Chicago. We will go over the basics of map making and visualization as well as some basic geospatial analysis. No prior experience necessary. Laptop running Win OS with ArcGIS Desktop installed (available at http://www.it.northwestern.edu/software/arcgis/index.html) required if you wish to follow along.

Pizza will be provided.
