Free training on Neighborhood Information System

Posted by on August 20, 2004

Do you need detailed information about a specific property in your neighborhood? Are you looking for data to help write grants? Are you looking for Philadelphia crime data? Ever wanted to view Philadelphia social indicator and property data on a quick, detailed, and interactive website?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions you should attend a free hour-long training at the University of Pennsylvania about the Philadelphia Neighborhood Information System. 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.

The Cartographic Modeling Lab will be holding two trainings on the Neighborhood Information System on August 24th from 9-10am and August 31st from 1-2pm. 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!
