MEETING AGENDA

Presentation by John Stevenson, UD Library

  • GIS workshops at UD (Spring 2020)
  • Upcoming GIS conferences
  • Roundtable discussion


In this coffee hour, John will speak about PolicyMap, a cloud based data and mapping platform that facilitates the analyses of data and quickly displays it in maps, tables, charts and reports.  PolicyMap enables users to create maps and provides access to more than 37,000 indicators related to demographics, income/spending, housing, lending, quality of life, economy, education, health, jobs, crime, and education.  Data is available across a wide range of geographies, including address, block groups, census tract, zip code, county, city, state, MSA, as well as school districts, HUD neighborhoods,  and political boundaries.  Stevenson will demonstrate how new features, such as “create account” and “download data”, make PolicyMap ideal for class use.
