PolicyMap, SimplyMap, and Social Explorer are mapping applications available by subscription via the University Libraries. These web-based mapping platforms enable the user to use, visualize, and create map outputs in multiple formats. Each product has data unique to the platform and multiple display options. This workshop will highlight their key features, data sources, and display capabilities. Participants will complete a hands-one portion to gain experience navigating each application. Participants are encouraged to create a map using each application at the end of the session. Additional map and geospatial resources will be highlighted. Attendees are able to participate remotely via Adobe Connect:
