@maclibraries On a smaller-than-Hollywood-movie scale, Rebecca, Carleton's GIS Librarian, used this 1:10,000 Vimy (36C SW3, version 8A) map during a research project to digitize trenches around Vimy Ridge: https://t.co/LFpjnc2sRo

Our friend and colleague Gord Beck of @maclibraries is in the news for the work he and others have done to make WW1 and WW2 military maps accessible for public use, including appearing in Oscar-nominated films. https://t.co/3Ve76lW1RF

Want to know more about a very familiar map projection and why it's problematic, not least when mapping Canada? Mercator, it’s not hip to be square by @kennethfield: https://t.co/DxLqqhrPZr

Tip: if ArcGIS Online is behaving differently or you're having problems logging into ArcGIS Pro, it's worth checking https://t.co/XwOgsMMvFV to see if service is normal or having issues, as it is this morning.

[MacOdrum Library @CarletonLibrary]

Check out our first GIS Grad Navigate session of the semester. In this workshop you'll learn to create feature layers to collect data (in ArcGIS online), add layer to a web map, share map and layers to a group, and access the map in Collector for ArcGIS.
