D-Lab Data Science Fellows Program

This workshop will cover methods for mapping tabular geospatial data. Participants will learn how to add columns (or fields) to the attribute table that describes geographic features. This allows new variables to be created, updated, mapped and analyzed. We will then explore data table joins that allow you to link the content in two tables together based on a common field. We will be using QGIS to explore these two tools. Along the way we will work through some commonly encountered problems with joins.

Come to this workshop to explore Scrivener, a software program that allows you to organize the many components of writing an academic paper, thesis, fiction book, or nonfiction book. This software can also be used to note ideas, outline, rearrange writing structures, and track changes as your ideas evolve. Join UC Berkeley's librarians, Stacy Reardon and Celia Emmelhainz, to learn the basics on either Mac or PC, and and get started with your own projects!
