G.I.S. Day at WCU’s Hunter Library

On November 8-9, Hunter Library will host four sessions for Western Carolina University’s inaugural Geographic Information Systems Day—a national event since 1987, and now directly accessible to Western students, faculty and staff.

Hunter’s own Bart Voskuil, Reference Librarian/Environmental and Geosciences Liaison, will present the first session, “G.I.S. Resources @ WCU and Mapping Census Data,” on November 8, from 1:00-2:00 pm, in the Library’s electronic classroom (HL186). Other workshop sessions include:

“Mini-G.I.S. Workshop using ArcView (Introduction)” by Ron Davis, WCU Geosciences and NRM (November 8, 2:00-3:00 pm, HL 186)

“G.I.S. Applications on Campus & in the Region,” by Joni-Bugden Storie, WCU Geosciences and NRM (November 9, 9:00-10:00 am, HL 186)

“Mini-G.I.S. Workshop using ArcView (Introduction—repeat from day 1),” by Ron Davis, WCU Geosciences and NRM (November 9, 10:00-11:00 am, HL186)

Noted Author Thanks Library’s Special Collections

Charles Frazier, author of the newly-released novel, Thirteen Moons, thanked a number of people for helping him conduct research for the book, including Hunter Library’s George Frizzell, Head of Special Collections. Speaking of Frizzell and others, Frazier said, “I hope none of them will be too bothered by the liberties and detours I’ve taken with the facts they aimed me so directly toward.”

Frazier is also the author of the widely-acclaimed Cold Mountain, which remained on the New York Times best-seller list for a combined 94 weeks.
