SUMMARY:QGIS: An Introductory Tour (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to dive into the world of Geographic Information 
 Systems (GIS)? Join us for an engaging and hands-on workshop designed 
 specifically for new learners. This free session from UofT's Map and Data 
 Library will guide you through the basic essentials using free and open 
 source software.\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\n	Installation and Setup: We’ll 
 start with an introduction to open source GIS solutions and QGIS 3\, a 
 popular and powerful cross-platform desktop application\, 
 specifically.\n	Navigating the Interface: Get familiar with the different 
 parts of the QGIS interface\, making it easier to find the tools and 
 features you need.\n	Exploring Datasets: Learn how to import and explore 
 datasets\, unlocking the potential of spatially enabled data.\n	Symbology: 
 Discover how to turn data into cartographic visualizations.\n	Exporting 
 Maps: Export your maps to PDF\, allowing you to share your work and 
 incorporate it into reports\, posters\, and other print and digital 
 products.\n	Resources: Learn about ongoing support that the Map and Data 
 Library can provide: assistance finding data\, one-on-one consults with 
 subject matter experts\, and access to specialized software.\n\n\nIn 
 addition to these practical skills\, the session will include a discussion 
 of GIS fundamentals\, so you'll gain familiarity with common file formats 
 and workflows. There will be time for Q&A\; participants are encouraged to 
 bring any questions they may have. If you'd like to learn how you might use 
 spatial analysis in your studies and research\, this workshop is a perfect 
 starting point.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your technical 
 skills and take your first steps with QGIS. We look forward to seeing you 
 there!\n\n\n\n	Prerequisites:\n	There are no prerequisites or prior 
 knowledge required for this workshop.\n	Audience:\n	This workshop is 
 designed for U of T students and researchers.\n	Instructor:\n	Cole White\,
