Demographic Mapping with SimplyMap and PolicyMap

This workshop will introduce two different web platforms for exploring and mapping US demographic data - SimplyMap and Policy Map. While there is some overlap between the different applications, each has its own strengths and unique features. For each platform I will provide a short demo, followed by some time to explore the data and visualization tools that each offers. Note for participants: SimplyMap requires you to create your own account. This is free, and allows you to save your projects and preferences. Both platforms are licensed resources that the UC Berkeley Library subscribes to, so to use them you must be on campus or authenticated for remote access.
