SUMMARY:TDL GIS Interest Group's "Georeferenceathon"
DESCRIPTION:Georeferenceathon! Join us Friday\, July 25 from 1-3:30pm for a free session that will focus on teaching complete beginners how to georeference scanned maps. Feel free to bring your own maps or use maps from our institutions’ collections that we will provide. No prior GIS or georeferencing experience necessary! Also\, bring whatever sweet treat\, snack\, or drink you use to beat the Texas heat! \nGeoreferencing is the process of converting a static image\, such as a scanned map\, aerial photograph\, or architectural plan\, into a usable geospatial dataset. By assigning real-world coordinates to the image\, it is transformed from a simple image into a data layer that can be used for analysis within a Geographic Information System (GIS). \nThe output of georeferencing is a new\, spatially-aware dataset that can be integrated with other data for scholarly research. This allows researchers to do things like: analyze historical change\, perform spatial analysis\, integrate and synthesize data\, digitize features\, and improve findability. \nGeoreferencing makes cultural and historical materials machine-readable in a spatial context\, unlocking them as valuable sources for data-driven research and scholarship. \nRegistration is required.\nLearn more about the TDL GIS Interest Group: https://texasdigitallibrary.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TDLGISIG/overview

SUMMARY:OER @ TDL: OER Course Marking: Promoting Open & Affordable Resources
DESCRIPTION:Course marking—the practice of designating courses that use open educational resources (OER) or other no- or low-cost resources—helps students identify affordable course options in their class schedules\, enabling them to make informed decisions when they register for classes. In addition to providing valuable information to students\, course markings also help institutions assess the use and impact of OER. However\, it can be challenging to initiate and maintain this process of marking courses\, which often involve a large number of stakeholders across the institution. In this session\, we will hear how three institutions have initiated and improved upon course marking processes for their students. They will share their challenges\, successes\, and future plans to establish sustainable course marking workflows in order to better promote open and affordable resources. \n\nQuarterly OER @ TDL meetings are organized by the TDL OER Users Group and are open to anyone interested\, regardless of membership in the Texas Digital Library.\nThe OER @ TDL meetings are not recorded in order to cultivate candid conversations. Presentations and resources shared during the meeting will be shared with registrants afterward.\n\nContributors: \n\nDeeAnn Ivie\, Open Education Coordinator\, The University of Texas at San Antonio\, (she/her)\nLisa Louis\, Director\, User and Research Services\, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (she/her)\nKyle Gullings\, Professor\, School of Performing Arts\, The University of Texas at Tyler (he/him)\n\nModerator: Kate McNally Carter\, Open Education Librarian\, University of Houston (she/her) \nRegistration is required.
