Plugins in QGIS

This intermediate-level workshop is meant to extend basic knowledge of QGIS by exploring common plugins. Familiarity of the QGIS is therefore a prerequisite. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to use plugins to

• Access dynamic basemaps hosted on web servers
• Query and download Open Street Map (OSM) data
• Geocode address data from a spreadsheet, and
• Create an interactive webmap from a QGIS project

Familiarity with GIS is prerequisite for this workshop. Prior to the workshop date, please review our Introduction to Mapmaking with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-mapping-intro/). Additionally, if you are new to QGIS, we recommend you review our workshop on Thematic Mapping with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-thematic-mapping/) as well.

This workshop is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods.
