An Introduction to ArcMap : Making simple maps An Introduction to ArcMap Presented by Eva Dodsworth and Scott MacFarlane

An Introduction to ArcMap : Making simple maps Agenda Brief overview of GIS and ArcMap Data from the University Map Library ArcMap Demonstration : Making a simple map Hands-on Exercise

GIS Overview : What is GIS? A GIS is much more than a mapping program 1. Geodatabase : A unique database structured in geographic terms 2. Geovisualization : The Map component. Maps are created by using the spatial information present in the database

GIS Overview : What is GIS? 3. Geoprocessor : A set of information transformation tools that derive new datasets from existing datasets

Common GIS data Formats Shapefile : Points, Lines, or Polygons that hold tabular data and spatial location Shapefiles can only be opened and used in programs that support this format ESRI GIS software; many proprietary and open source programs available on the web There are many ‘readers’ available that will create simple maps and not much more See list of recommended software

Common GIS Data Formats MrSid : a compressed image file that produces a file size roughly 20x smaller than a.tiff. Commonly used for orthoimages. Special software required to view, manipulate and to convert to an alternative format (tiff, jpg). Lizardtech.com provides free trials of software. The Library is using GeoExpress View and free viewer TatukGIS. But there are LOTS of options on the web (Google keyword : MrSid software)

What kinds of data does UW have? Accessible from the Map Library Large collection of local and national data Includes orthoimagery, topographical, hydrological, geological, census data, street data, soils, land use, parcels, and more Our webpage outlines and describes every dataset :
