The National Technology Assistance Project (NTAP) is offering a free, on-line training series on desktop GIS. The trainings are limited to 20 participants so registering ASAP is important. NTAP is offering two different sets of dates for the trainings. Both series will cover the same material viz. how to use google maps to map CSR and census data. The first series has 60 minute trainings on the following days July 9, 16 and 23, 2009 (all Thursdays). The second series has 60 minute trainings on the following days September 11, 18, and 25, 2009 (all Fridays).
