With support from the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) and ESRI will be holding a three-part webinar series on collecting and creating accurate and appropriate metadata, a critical component of any local or regional geographic information systems (GIS) program.

This FREE training will allow participants to better understand how their effective use of metadata can allow other users, including regional councils’ member local governments, to search and utilize their data services effectively. From their own desks, participants will be able join experienced trainers from ESRI for lectures and interactive exercises, resulting in the creation of functional metadata that can be published to the Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) or Data.gov.

This training will be targeted at new and expert GIS users alike, with the opportunity for all to improve their skills in creating, sharing and using metadata in real world situations. Following the live webinars, ESRI trainers will be available to provide one-on-one support to participants with questions, supporting them in integrating their new skills into their everyday work life.
