[Carleton, Janet (she/her)]

Last day to register for Thursday's meeting!
As I've noted before, if you can't remember if you have already registered, go ahead and register (again) as it is very easy for me to remove dups from the spreadsheet.

Please join the Ohio Digitization Interest Group for our March meeting (virtual) at 10:30am on Thursday, March 7, 2024 for presentations and panel discussion on GIS Data in Digitization.

Registration: Please register by Tues March 5, 5pm at https://forms.gle/cLSFkpR4SoFFaT2t5

Topic: GIS Data in Digitization
This meeting will feature three presentations on GIS issues. These include: Finding free data visualization tools ranging from basic to advanced, as well as resources for working with location data and historical maps; cataloging GIS data sets; and a presentation about the collaborative project, Engaging Columbus.

Presentations:
Cataloging GIS Data Sets. Sylvia Halladay, librarian, Ohio Geological Survey, Department of Natural Resources. Finding data sets is important, and it is something that a library catalog can help with. Hear about how OGS approaches this task.
Mapping Resources for Digitization Professionals. Erin Wilson, digital imaging specialist & lab manager, Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections, Preservation & Digital Initiatives, Ohio University Libraries. Mapping technologies allow us to visualize information, observe patterns, tell stories, and explore collections in novel ways. This presentation will provide an overview of free tools ranging from basic to advanced, as well as resources for working with location data and historical maps.
Engaging Columbus. John Krygier, professor of Environment and Sustainability, Ohio Wesleyan University. John is a geographer with specializations in cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), and environmental and human geography, and has developed the project Engaging Columbus<https://engagingcolumbus.owu.edu/>, which provides resources to address the question "How can we think and learn about urban places" among others.
