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

As I wrote a couple of days ago, Gretchen Trkay, the Information Literacy librarian and I needed to get the handouts in this week for our ACRL Poster Presentation: OneBook Meets Google Maps: Engaging Freshman in English Composition Library Instruction.

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:

• OneBook Meets Google Maps: Engaging Freshmen in English Composition Library Instruction
• Mapping the Afghan Experience: GIS, Google Maps, & Library Instruction
• GIS & Google Maps @ Your Library: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Integrating GIS Data & Google Maps
• Handout Given to Students: ENGL 1301 Kite Runner Library Activity
  

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.
