The University of Delaware Library is offering the workshop “Starting Research with PolicyMap” on Tuesday, Oct. 4.

Using PolicyMap, a researcher can choose from over 35,000 indicators related to demographics, income and spending, housing, lending, quality of life, economy, education, health, jobs, crime and education and apply them across a wide range of geographies.

Participants will learn how to identify and to map places that match two or three criteria of data on a single map, or use the “Data Loader” to upload their own data points and geocode U.S. addresses.

“Starting Research with PolicyMap” will be offered from 9:30-11 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 4, in Room A of the Student Multimedia Design Center on the lower level of the Morris Library.

Presenter will be John Stevenson, associate librarian, Multimedia Collections and Services Department.

This workshop is available at no charge and open to University of Delaware students, faculty and staff. Seating is limited and registration is required. For a complete listing of workshops and to register online, go to this website.

Participants are welcome to use the resources of the University of Delaware Library on-site. All visitors to the Morris Library need to have photo identification to enter the building, e.g., a UD ONEcard, a U.S. driver’s license or a government-issued or school-issued photo ID.
