“Getting Started with ArcGIS Online,” a workshop offered by the University of Delaware Library, will introduce participants to geographic information systems (GIS) and teach them how to make a map online and add data to it.

Cloud-based ArcGIS Online makes it easy to add one's data to a map and share it widely.

“Getting Started with ArcGIS Online” will be offered from 9:30-11:30 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 25, in Room 010 on the lower level of Smith Hall.
