SimplyAnalytics is a powerful mapping, analytics, and data visualization tool that allows you to create interactive visualizations using extensive demographic, business, and marketing data. After this 1-hour workshop, you will be able to access and navigate this online resource and get started creating and exporting maps, charts, and comparison tables using thousands of Canadian and US data variables.

Part 2 of this workshop will discuss challenges that we have gone through, as well as questions that you can bring to this workshop. You will learn about strategies and resources that are available to help you understand copyright better. Together, we will clear misconceptions around these complex issues. Send your questions in advance to Yayo Umetsubo, a Scholarly Communications Librarian!

Part 1 gives you an introduction about copyright laws and discusses differences between ideas, facts, and works that are in the public domain, freely available on the Internet, and Open Access. 

Gathering and organizing citations of earlier published research can take up a large amount of your time as a graduate student. Ultimately, these citations (articles, books, websites, social media, etc) may prove to be vital for your projects, reviews, and original research, especially if you are asked to provide a literature review or a bibliography to support your work. Using a bibliographic management tool can allow you to quickly save and organize your citations into project folders that are easily accessible from both your computer and the Cloud.
