Hi All,

The 2nd iDigBio Train the Trainers Georeferencing Workshop is almost here!
Monday - Friday August 12 - 16, 9 am - 5 pm. EDT

Workshop Agenda Wiki: https://tinyurl.com/idbttt2
Attend Remotely via AdobeConnect

The workshop will cover tools and techniques used to correctly interpret 
textual location data into spatial descriptions that can be used in 
mapping and analyses. Participants will learn the fundamentals of 
georeferencing best practices through a combination of lectures and 
hands-on exercises, including paper maps, the MaNIS Georeferencing 
Calculator, GEOLocate, and online exercises. Special attention will be 
paid to the specific and unique georeferencing needs and workflows of 
the TCNs and their digitization activities.

iDigBio - Hope to see you there!
