What a great idea!

Kiri Carini, our Geospatial Specialist has a full slate of activities for GIS Day:

  *   In the morning - Open Geospatial Analysis using Python workshop
  *   In the afternoon - lightning talks

See our libguide about the day activities at https://libguides.library.arizona.edu/c.php?g=448632&p=6942703

We also participate in Pima County's Annual GIS Fair each year - http://webcms.pima.gov/cms/One.aspx?pageId=54312
This year's theme is "Where in the World". Last year we had the highest number of attendees at 300!

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Tony (and everyone),

I'm not sure if you have the Esri Scholarship, but having students present their work for the scholarship is something we did at Brock University (St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada), while I was there. It was essentially a public presentation, with a panel of judges to later award the scholarship (or, advance the best one for Esri to award the scholarship). We also worked with the campus Geography society to have pizza and drinks, and the library contributed a GIS-themed cake. We also had some trivia, using Esri "swag" and other giveaways from on-campus partners like the bookstore as prizes.

I hope that helps! What do other folks have planned?

Subject: GIS Day ideas

Hello all,

GIS day is rapidly approaching, can we have some ideas shared on how we will plan for that day.
I plan on having an open house for a few hours, but I need ideas on what I can do.
This might be difficult for my library, as our library currently does not support a GIS program (because we are so small).

Thanks,
