20 Minute Tech: Social Bookmarking & RSS

Have you ever gotten to class and can't find the link you wanted to show because it was bookmarked on your office computer? Social bookmarking solves this problem by allowing your bookmarks to always be with you. RSS feeds allow to you compile all of your favorite blogs into one tidy spot where you can read them all at the same time. We will give you a quick 20 minute crash course on social bookmarking & rss feeds to get you started.

Trainings will be offered:
Friday 2/19 at 2:30 in Tome 118

GIS: Census 2010: Stand Up and Be Counted

Wednesday March 9th 12-1pm Information Commons Classroom (library)


2010 marks the 23rd United States Census, conducted every 10 years since 1790.  In addition to being used to allocate Congressional seats, electoral votes, and government program funding, census data collected by the U.S. government also offers academic researchers and social scientists a wealth of information for analyzing the complex and changing demographics of American communities.  Join us in kicking off this census year by exploring some simple ways in which GIS technology can be used to assemble, analyze, and map census data.
