References and Acknowledgments
The notes were developed for a one day workshop on the use of GIS, specifically for the presentation of maps using ArcGIS 8.2, at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. Charles Burchill developed and gave the workshop; Laurel Jebamani organized the first version of these notes based on the content of the workshop; Jill MacGregor later organized the notes into a web based tutorial. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an introduction to GIS for MCHP staff. There are a series of map and data files that are required for doing the outlined examples and activities. The required files are listed at the end of this document. All of the files are available from Charles Burchill for use as instructional tools within the University of Manitoba. A number of files included are not mentioned in this document – files in the FNTS (First Nations) and SCHOOL directories. These files are used for extra examples found in the instructor’s notes and other workshops. These notes are not meant as a replacement for the ArcGIS Desktop manual. If necessary you can borrow Charles Burchill’s personal copy of the ArcGIS Desktop and extensions manuals – please ask to borrow the manual and return it when you are finished. Since ArcGIS is licensed from the University of Manitoba a manual was not provided. Additional References for the New User
