Maps can help you visualise your data, for the reader of your publications or for yourself to better understand your data. Leaflet and QGIS are two open-source tools that you can use to do this. With Leaflet it is possible to make interactive maps, while QGIS is a full Geographic Information System, which you can use to - among many other things - create basic maps. In this workshop we focus on making simple maps in these two applications.
Instructors: Peter Verhaar, Pascal Flohr, Ben Companjen (University Libraries, Centre for Digital Scholarship)
