SUMMARY:QGIS Intensive Series: Mapping for Academic Publication (Reference Maps)
DESCRIPTION:In this beginner-friendly workshop\, you will learn to create simple\, static maps to accompany academic publications. You will be introduced to a variety of maps as well as best practices in cartography. This workshop is suited for anyone who wants to make a map of their research area\, or whose project involves data with a spatial component. To make our maps\, we will use QGIS\, a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) for analyzing\, modifying\, and visualizing spatial data. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will have the confidence to: \n\n\n\n\nDecide what kind of map best conveys your research or contextualizes your study area;\n\n\n\nFind and download relevant spatial data;\n\n\n\nLoad datasets into QGIS and style them as data layers;\n\n\n\nCompose a map that includes a title\, scale bar\, legend\, and north arrow; and\n\n\n\nExport this map into formats compatible with print and digital publication.\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: The fundamental skills and concepts pertaining to spatial data\, map types\, and the QGIS interface will not be covered during this workshop. Therefore\, prior to the workshop date\, please review our Introduction to Mapmaking with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-mapping-intro/) \n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed for those with no experience using GIS. It is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods. \n\n\n\nWorkshop link: https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-reference-mapping/ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThings to do before arriving:\n\n\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and Linux using the download instructions here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. This workshop will use the latest Long Term Release version. Please make sure you have this installed on your computer. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 11\, 2026  \n\n\n\nTime: 10:00am – 12:00pm (British Columbia) \n\n\n\nPresenter: Lily Crandall-Oral

SUMMARY:Introduction to Markdown digital workflows
DESCRIPTION:Plain text formats have received increasing attention from scholars in recent years and have been described as among the best ways to store knowledge persistently. This workshop will introduce you to the benefits of using plain text files and simple markup formats to create flexible\, robust\, and future-proof workflows for digital scholarship\, research\, and knowledge. We will begin with a brief introduction to the Markdown text format and create a short sample document which with the use of a few simple tools that can be converted into a website\, dynamic slideshow presentation\, PDF\, and even a formatted PhD thesis. We will also cover how to migrate existing « closed » files like Word documents and PowerPoint presentations into more accessible plain text Markdown (or similar formats like Asciidoc)\, for archival\, collaboration\, version control\, and other purposes. \n\n\n\nSee website (link below) for more details. \n\n\n\nTuesday\, 11 August\, 2026\, 11:00am-1:00pm (British Columbia) \n\n\n\nPresenter: Kamal Abou Mikhael
