ArcGIS Online is a web-based GIS tool that can be used to create and share web maps and apps. This introductory session will include an overview of ArcGIS Online software, commonly used GIS terminology, GIS support services at Brandeis Library, and guided hands-on activities. Brandeis community members can sign-in to their ArcGIS Online accounts at Brandeis ArcGIS Online.

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to: 

• Add, edit, and customize the appearance of data in their maps
• Properly format and upload a spreadsheet file for use in ArcGIS Online
• Customize the pop-up window display for a data set
• Save and export maps for use in reports, websites, and web apps

Our computer lab is equipped with dual boot MacBook Airs. Attendees are welcome to use one of our laptops or bring their own. Sample data sets will be provided for this workshop. Please contact Alex Willett, our GIS Librarian (contact info in sidebar), if you have any questions or would like to schedule an individual or small group GIS consultation.
