Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is designed for capturing, mapping, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data and allows you to explore patterns, relationships, and trends across geographic space.
We will be offering the Data and Digital Workshop Series during the 25/26 academic year, with more topics and tools to be added over time. Check out Fall 2025 Library Workshops and sign up today!
