Free Training: Neighborhood Information System

Posted by on October 8, 2004

The Cartographic Modeling Lab at the University of Pennsylvania will be holding free trainings on how to use the Philadelphia Neighborhood Information System (NIS). The NIS is designed to help community-based organizations, government agencies, researchers and concerned individuals in their efforts to analyze, transform and revitalize Philadelphia neighborhoods. You can learn more about and preview NIS at our website http://www.cml.upenn.edu/nis.

NIS Trainings will be held on October 18th from 1:30-2:30 p.m., October 22nd from 1:30-2:30 p.m., November 5th from 10:00-11:00 a.m., and December 3rd from 1:30-2:30 pm. Both are introductory trainings designed for new users. There is no cost for the training; however, space is limited so pre-registration is required. If you would like to register for either training please e-mail nishelp@ssw.upenn.edu and include your name, organization, contact information, and your preferred training date. E-mail is the best way to register for the training as it ensures that we get your message directly. We hope to see you in one of our upcoming trainings. If you know someone who would benefit from
this training, please forward this message to that person. Thanks!

Sincerely,
