Do you want to know more about working with spatial data? Attend the upcoming workshop “Introduction to ArcGIS Online” on October 7 from 1:30 om to 3:00 pm. Registration and workshop details are available in Faculty Onestop. The workshop is free and open to any Bearcat who wants to learn more about the Ersi Platform ArcGIS Online, how to get an UC Esri account, and how to find data with spatial attributes.
Workshop description: This introductory in-person workshop introduces the fundamentals of web mapping and spatial analysis using ArcGIS Online. No previous GIS or ArcGIS experience is required. ArcGIS Online runs directly in a web browser and is available to participants with a UC login.
The workshop will begin with an introduction to GIS and spatial data, followed by a guided tour of the ArcGIS Online interface. Participants will learn how to sign in, navigate Map Viewer, find and add spatial data, work with map layers and attributes, change basemaps and symbology, and explore geographic patterns.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have experience creating and interpreting a web map in ArcGIS Online and will have a foundation for applying GIS tools to their own research or projects.
The workshop will be facilitated by Le Tu, Research and Data Services GIS research consultant. If you want to explore spatial data and GIS resources deeper after the workshop, Le is available for consultations. Visit the GIS Services lab in 412 Langsam.

How many times have you or a loved one been to the emergency room? Did you ever wonder how the emergency room procedures were established that you have observed in the hit dramas, The Pitt or ER? (The Pitt – WikipediaER (TV series) – Wikipedia) How do they make the quick decisions that save lives? Their scripts are based on authentic emergency room procedures established by the medical profession.
In the early 1980s a group of emergency medicine professionals at the University of Cincinnati provided this growing medical specialty with the seminal textbook Emergency Medicine concepts and clinical practice, published by The C.V. Mosby Company. Led by Senior Editor Peter Rosen, M.D., and Associate Editors Drs. Frank J. Baker, G. Richard Braen, Robert H. Dailey, and Richard C. Levy, they assembled a team of eighty-seven emergency medicine experts.
Bring your friends for The Great Library Guess Off, a Guesspionage™ -style challenge, inspired by a popular Jackbox online game. Join us Thursday, Oct. 15 from 6-7:30pm in the Walter C. Langsam Library Digital Scholarship Area (4th floor) for an evening of fun and games.
Students will be divided into small teams to take turns guessing statistics. Their assigned rival teams will have the opportunity to “steal” points before the answer is revealed. The three teams with the highest number of points will win small prizes to encourage active participation. Questions will highlight UC Libraries-specific statistics (as appropriate), such as percentage of students who utilize library resources, as well as available statistics on student wellness that contribute to belonging and academic success (i.e., reported sleep, stress levels, and study habits).
The Great Library Guess Off is free and open to all to attend. Refreshments will be served.
