Introduction to OpenSource GIS: QGIS

Research Education at University Libraries workshops equip researchers with the tools, concepts, and skills needed for every stage of the research lifecycle. The Data Science/GIS workshop series is powered by the GIS and Data Service Center. This workshop series offers introductory to advanced-level skills in GIS, Data Science, and Data Visualization among others.

QGIS is an open source and cross-platform Geographic Information System (GIS) software that supports displaying, storing, editing, and analysis of geospatial data. In this workshop, the instructor will provide live demos to display spatial data, create GIS layers from raw data, and perform some basic spatial analysis. Attendees of this workshop will have access to hands-on exercises and datasets.
