Queensland GLOBE Tutorial

This presentation will be delivered by Dr Kerry Raymond, Map Group and RGSQ Member.  Kerry is a retired professor of information technology. In retirement, she is an active contributor to Wikipedia and an amateur researcher of Queensland history. She uses Queensland Globe almost every day for both purposes. She makes no claims to be an expert in Queensland Globe but is keen to help others get started with this amazing public resource.

Overview:  Queensland Globe is an interactive mapping website providing access to the spatial information collected by the Queensland Government. It is a powerful tool with an extensive array of information which can be overlaid on a number of base maps of Queensland, but it can be overwhelming for the novice user.  This talk will demonstrate some of the capabilities of Queensland Globe and provide an overview of the range of information that can be overlaid upon it.

This session will be aimed at beginners and will include - navigating around the Globe, searching for locations by a range of methods, obtaining information about a particular place and working with the hundreds of built-in data layers, and of course some tips and tricks to help you along the way.

Costs:  $2:00 contribution towards morning tea
