Simmons GSLIS Continuing Education

Make Your Point! Using Google Maps at your Library
Online: July 1 - 31, 2009
$250 ($200 Simmons GSLIS Alumni)
PDPs: 15

Explore and learn the ins and outs of Google Maps and consider the 
possibilities this tool offers your library. We will begin with an 
overview of Google Maps and Google's mapping tools and functionality, 
look at eight mapping examples which could easily be used in library 
settings as either program extensions or an extension of existing 
library services, and brainstorm about your individual libraries and how 
you might use Google maps.
 
Participants will leave with extensive handouts about Google Maps, with 
easily implementable steps to take to create any of the mapping 
applications covered, and with a broader understanding of Google Maps 
and mapping tools available.
