Queer Cafe - Jackson Library Weds 11/13 from 10 am - Noon

In the Jackson Library Jewish Reading Room on Wednesday, November 13th, from 10 am - Noon.

Jackson Library will be holding an event in support of UNCG LGBTQ+ students, called Queer Cafe! This idea was inspired by a similar event held at the New York Institute of Technology for National Coming Out Day. It is a way for LGBTQ+ identifying students to have a safe space to meet and interact with their LGBTQ+ librarians over coffee and snacks. Queer Cafe will mainly be a way for our students to see who we are (and that we exist) while we drink coffee and share some of our favorite resources (books, zines, etc.). It’s going to be very casual! This will not be a panel; participants won’t have to share anything about themselves that they don’t want to.

The event will take place in Jackson Library Tower room 974 (Jewish Reading Room) on Wednesday, November 13th, from 10 am - Noon.

We hope to promote visibility by allowing LGTBQ+ library employees to be out and vulnerable to students who share similar experiences. With this in mind, we kindly ask that folks who do not identify under the Queer Umbrella sit this event out. We welcome support from our allies in ways other than attendance (marketing, spreading the word, etc)

---Jo & the Queer Cafe Organizers

rescheduledGive a 5-min. presentation about GIS, maybe you'll win an ArcGIS for Personal Use license

***This event has been rescheduled***
Note from Jo Klein, Geospatial and Data Visualization Librarian:
The GIS Day event originally to be held at Jackson Library this Wednesday 11/13 at 3PM will be rescheduled for 2020! New date and location TBD; the form for submissions will remain open.

******

Are you a geographic information system (GIS) user or are you interested in GIS? Do you have a GIS-related project to showcase or know of any cool GIS tools or maps? Share your work in a presentation at GIS Stew!

GIS Stew is a UNCG University Libraries event where students, faculty, and other members of the UNCG community come together to share their work and inspire others to learn more about geographic information systems (GIS), through 5-minute lightning round-style presentations.

Presentations can be about anything within the theme of GIS use: this is your chance to show off the spatial analysis you did for a research project, the process of how you made that cool map for class, or even just a really nifty interactive map that tells a story about something that interests you (and maybe how it was made)!

Presenters will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 5 free Esri ArcGIS for Personal Use licenses, provided by Esri as part of GIS Day, an Esri event that seeks to provide a platform for GIS users to share their work and inspire others to learn more. Learn more about GIS Day at https://www.gisday.com/.
