It is hard for me to wrap my head around the news about Nancy. Even though maps were part of my responsibilities I did not concentrate in map librarianship but Nancy was always there to assist and I remember her so fondly from my active days in MAGERT/MAGIRT. I looked forward to seeing her at conferences and visited her at NYPL many times. She was so professional in dissecting problems and understanding issues and an inspiration to be around. My condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

Sorry Tony, I read your question twice and somehow still missed that you were talking about a full class and not a workshop! Not sure anything I sent just now will apply to what you need. That said, I would still not put too much time into explaining transformations other than to describe them as the crosswalk between coordinate systems that are based on different datums. The fine details of dealing with transformations in a practical sense are more black-art than anything IMO and hard to teach theoretically. Most GIS users at research institutions don't need that level of understanding.

Subject: QGIS, question about projection transformation screen
Hi folks, I’m going to start teaching an introduction to QGIS class later this year, for newly arriving students here at my institute.
Would anyone have an easy explanation I can say about projection transformations? I have an idea of what it is, but I was hoping if someone could chime in on a simple explanation for someone new to GIS to understand what this means when a user comes across it.
Also, what transformation would one use and why? (Example, in the attached screenshot, which of these would I choose and why).
Thanks again,

Subject: Nancy Kandoian (1952 - 2022)
We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved colleague Nancy Kandoian, map librarian at the New York Public Library's Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division has passed away.
Nancy started at the Library 44 years ago as a map information assistant, and has been the heart of our Map Division ever since. Over her long and fruitful career at NYPL, Nancy helped shape the field of map librarianship, particularly through her tireless dedication to the practice of map cataloging, and her mentorship and training of countless colleagues both at the Library and across the U.S. Employing unending patience and devotion to her craft, Nancy’s contributions to librarianship will benefit our patrons for generations to come.
She was the consummate professional, expert at her job, dedicated to the Library’s mission and public service, and always kind, respectful, and thoughtful with both patrons and colleagues. Her generosity was also unparalleled—whether she was sharing her vast knowledge, taking the time to talk with colleagues, or passing out her (incredible) homemade baked treats. She will be deeply missed.

Subject: Re: QGIS, question about projection transformation screen
Hello Tony,
I second David's suggestions. If you'd like some additional material to refer to, here's the QGIS workshop manual I use for my day-long sessions.
Chapter 4 includes a discussion of spatial / coordinate reference systems:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://libguides.brown.edu/gis_data_tutorials/intro_qgis__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvSg!NC9eO694PF05i6fjbHUHDPe3kfWmzovSrfPcwn1kFKnAM6Cx_p8mGOvNaBIvo2Sw9rB7feL_yp7QUyZcBnKLoKR2$
I always advise students that they should use a system that fits their intended purpose, and the number of choices they'll have varies with scale.
At a global level you have a lot of choices, but they get narrower as you drill down. Each continent and many large countries have conformal, equal area, and equidistant projections (Lambert, Albers, etc) that you can choose from based on the property you want to preserve. Many mid-size to smaller countries will have their own preferred systems, or you can choose a relevant UTM zone. For smaller areas, you can also choose a relevant UTM zone, or in the US the state plane system for the area.
In terms of how the transformations work... I simply tell folks to think of these as reference systems or standards for modeling the Earth. Each system has three components: an approximation of the earth's shape (spheroid / ellipsoid), a datum (math for attaching the spheroid / ellipsoid to the true shape of the earth), a coordinate system, and a map projection.
Systems with the first 3 components are geographic coordinate systems (GCS) for modeling things on a three dimensional sphere. Systems with all 4 components are projected coordinate systems (PCS) for modeling things in two dimensions. QGIS has a library of all these standards, so you can convert your data from one to the other based on your intended purpose. For most applications, I suggest that people convert their data from a GCS (like WGS 84 or NAD 83) to an appropriate PCS. And I leave it at that!
Best - Frank

I am very sad to hear this. Nancy was one of the first persons I met when I joined NEMO (North East Map Organization) and we became friends.
Not only because we were both map catalogers; we shared many interests and I always enjoyed seeing and talking with her. Last time was a little less than a year ago.
She always was kind, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. This is a loss to our special community of mappers.

Subject: Nancy Kandoian (1952 - 2022)
We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved colleague Nancy Kandoian, map librarian at the New York Public Library's Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division has passed away.
Nancy started at the Library 44 years ago as a map information assistant, and has been the heart of our Map Division ever since. Over her long and fruitful career at NYPL, Nancy helped shape the field of map librarianship, particularly through her tireless dedication to the practice of map cataloging, and her mentorship and training of countless colleagues both at the Library and across the U.S. Employing unending patience and devotion to her craft, Nancy’s contributions to librarianship will benefit our patrons for generations to come.
She was the consummate professional, expert at her job, dedicated to the Library’s mission and public service, and always kind, respectful, and thoughtful with both patrons and colleagues. Her generosity was also unparalleled—whether she was sharing her vast knowledge, taking the time to talk with colleagues, or passing out her (incredible) homemade baked treats. She will be deeply missed.

This news breaks my heart, thank you for sharing Ian. Nancy was indispensable when it came to her knowledge about historic maps and atlases and how to describe them. As others have said, most of all she was a joy to be with whenever we got together at conferences, a truly humble and super wonderful person and human being! I am soooo saddened by this, and I know this must really hurt all those she has worked with for many, many years, you all are in my thoughts. (I hope you have been able to reach Alice Hudson with this news?) Please do share any information about a memorial service, etc. when you know.
Sincerely,
Paige Andrew

Incredibly sad news. While I didn't know Nancy nearly as well as many of you, like many have said she was always warm and welcoming -- a truly wonderful human being and will miss seeing her at the various map gatherings.

I am deeply saddened and surprised to learn of Nancy's passing. She was a lively and warm-hearted colleague that I enjoyed talking to at MAGERT/MAGIRT conferences. More than once she provided good advice on solving a cataloging question. She also said I reminded her of her grandfather -- I took it as a compliment.

My heart sank when reading this very, very sad news of Nancy's passing. She is one kindest people I have ever known. Always welcoming and always a generous person to those who ever asked her for map related advice/information. I enjoyed what time I had getting to know her a little better and about her family over the past couple of years. I personally will miss her very much. The world of map librarians has lost an asset.
Please keep me posted if there are memorial services planned, etc.
Thank you.
