Iryna Lendel co-authored a book chapter that has just been published: The Emerging Industry Puzzle: Optics Unplugged Maryann P. Feldman and Iryna Lendel. The book is titled Beyond Territory
Dynamic Geographies of Knowledge Creation, Diffusion and Innovation. Edited by Harald Bathe, Maryann Feldman, Dieter F. Kogler Published June 30th 2011 by Routledge – 294 pages. The main purpose of the book is to discuss new trends in the dynamic geography of innovation and argue that in an era of increasing globalization, two trends seem quite dominant: rigid territorial models of innovation, and localized configurations of innovative activities.

Introduction to ArcGIS I (Geographic Information Systems) version 10

August 24, 25, and 26, 2011

The Levin College of Urban Affairs is offering an introductory ArcGIS workshop (using ArcGIS version 10 which has a new look and major changes from previous versions). This three-day workshop is taught by Jim Wyles, a certified GIS Professional (GISP). Classes will be held on August 24, 25, and 26, 2011 from 8:30 A.M.-12:30 P.M. in the GIS computer lab (Room 40) at the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University located at 1717 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44115.

This course introduces participants to ArcGIS and its component applications. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with georeferenced spatial data.

Participants become familiar with the ArcGIS graphical user interface (GUI), and learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts. Workshop materials, including a workbook and data CD, are provided. Upon successful completion of the workshop certificates are awarded.

***CSU faculty, staff and students are offered the discounted rate of $250 (regular price $800).***

(Note: Priority is given to attendees paying the full price. In the event that an attendee paying the discounted rate is bumped he/she will receive a refund.) Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. No experience with desktop mapping or GIS technology is required, but registrants should know how to use Windows-based software.
