ACRL Poster Presentation: ArcIMS, Google Maps, & Information Literacy

As you can see from the 4 handouts below, our presentation focuses on how we integrated ArcIMS 9.1 services with Google Maps to develop a web application for freshman English Composition courses. Here is the web application: Mapping the Afghan Population of the US.

Well, we submitted our four handouts this afternoon, and it feels good to get those documents complete and shipped out.

Here are the 4 handouts:
I am really looking forward to presenting the results of our collaboration in Baltimore later this month. I have done quite a number of conference presentations, but never a poster presentation before. Should be fun.
