Hi all,
The next webinar in our joint series will take place next Friday, 14 August, at 2pm EDT / 11am PDT. It will be a great talk, so mark your calendars and spread the word! Information is below, including the Zoom link.
Lessons Learned from the JHU Global COVID-19 Map: Best Practices for Public GIS Projects
Please join us for the next free webinar co-hosted by MAGIRT and WAML.
Our speakers will be Mara Blake and Reina Murray from Johns Hopkins University Library. Mara Blake leads the data services team in the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University (JHU), which provides services that help students, faculty, and researchers find, use, visualize, manage, and share data. Reina Murray is the geospatial data curator and applications administrator in the Sheridan Libraries of JHU. She curates geospatial data and supports research and instruction using geospatial technologies.
The JHU Global COVID-19 dashboard started in January 2020 as a small project with a graduate student and faculty member from the Center for System Science and Engineering and grew to serve as a global resource during the pandemic. The JHU Sheridan Libraries joined the team early on, and balanced supporting the project with managing the ESRI educational site license and supporting the use of GIS for students, faculty, and staff. Based on experiences with the JHU Global COVID-19 Dashboard, the talk will present recommendations for those administering an ESRI Education Site License and supporting users of GIS to successfully develop and maintain public-facing GIS projects.
