The ISU GIS Support and Research Facility along with Parks Library will be hosting GIS Day 2024 on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in The Catalyst at Parks Library (Room 199).  This is a come-and-go event so stay as long as you would like. GIS Day is for everyone, from the GIS curious to the GIS user. There will be speakers throughout the morning sharing their research from around campus, information about GIS opportunities and programs on campus, free GIS swag, free food, and a map competition with prizes.  The Mapping Masterminds competition is open to everyone including non-ISU staff and students.  Click the link above for more details.

In this presentation we will discuss the ways that the Library's Digital Scholarship and Initiatives (DSI) department has incorporated StoryMaps into instruction, from honors seminars to workshops to course-related instruction. We will share examples from a variety of disciplines, including graphic design, Spanish, composition, and journalism.
