* GIS Day 2009 *
UT Arlington Library GIS Workshop Series for Spring 2008
Presenter: Joshua Been, GIS Librarian
Who May Attend: UT Arlington Students, Faculty, and Staff, and the general public.

Title: To Catch a Thief
Time: Thursday, March 2, 3pm - 5pm
Location: Central Library, Room B-20
Description: Use state-of-the-art GIS (geographic information systems) to analyze crime patterns, predict potential targets, and try to track down the burglar. These fictitious burglaries all take place in Tarrant County, Texas. This is a hands-on demo with no GIS or criminal justice experience required.

Play to Win!
Each Friday during the month February (Feb. 3, 10, 17, 24), we will be releasing evidence about the ongoing fictitious burglaries. The burglar might strike once or even twice during the week. Eye witnesses might report a seemingly irrelevant piece of information which might be critical. These clues will be released on flyers around campus, on the Library's website, and in on the University Calendar. If you can figure out the means of transportation taken by the burglar (how he is getting around) during the burglaries, email it to gislib@uta.edu. Faculty, students, or staff who send correct answers will be in a random drawing during the workshop, held on March 2. The deadline to guess is midnight (CST) on March 1. Winners will receive one free poster-sized print job by in the Library's Digital Media Studio.

Title: Create Your Own Google Maps
Time: Thursday, March 30, 3pm - 5pm
Location: Central Library, Room B-20
