Overview of the IndianaMap
Wednesday, January 30, 2013, 2:00-3:30pm EST
WEBINAR
FREE
Phil Worrall, Executive Director of the Indiana Geographic Information Council, and Katie Springer, Data Center Librarian at the Indiana State Library, go over the history of IndianaMap, review its newest features, and perform practice searches. We’ll make time for questions afterward.
Navigating the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder
Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 2:00-3:00pm EST
WEBINAR
FREE
The U.S. Census Bureau’s new version of American FactFinder - its interface for finding data - was released in 2011 and has undergone two major enhancements since then. This will be a training session on the steps needed to access data for any geographic area inside and outside Indiana – counties, cities, congressional districts, census tracts, census blocks, and zip codes. We’ll practice a few searches and make time for questions afterward.
An Overview of the Google Map API and Fusion Tables
Thursday, March 14, 2013, 2:00-3:00pm EDT
WEBINAR
FREE
Understanding the budget crunch local governments are under, the City of Hammond launched an interactive webmap using the freely available Google Maps API and Fusion Tables. With minimal programming experience and only an ArcView license, they were able to leverage their extensive spatial data library to create a customized, multi-layer map interface for the public. Becky McKinley and Tom Ramker of Hammond Sanitary District will give an overview of the technology used and the steps they went through to create this on-line map. You can preview the map at: www.gohammond.com/web/maps/main/HammondGIS.html
Spatial Epidemiology Studies: Tools for Discovering Health and Environmental Risk Factors
Thursday, April 25, 2013, 2:00-3:00 EDT
WEBINAR
FREE
Environmental risk factors and disparities in public health can be identified with epidemiological studies. However, these types of studies are extremely costly, and should only be conducted once there’s supporting evidence for an environmental health trend. One cost-effective way to gather this evidence is by integrating and analyzing retrospective, publicly available clinical, environmental, and demographic datasets. In this webinar, Christopher Farah of the Polis Center at IUPUI will provide an overview of methods for using these datasets. Specifically, he will cover spatial epidemiology literature, provide guidelines for analysis methodology and study design, and explore in-depth case studies. Analysis will focus on both platform-specific and open source tools.
