Geographical Referencing resources for social scientists (Geo-Refer)

A set of modular online learning resources covering geographical data linkage and mapping, mainly focused on the UK and dealing with census, postcode and administrative geographies, deprivation indicators and other major geographically-referenced datasets. The resources are highly modular and organized into four classes: concepts, methodology, data and exemplar applications. The materials demonstrate the use of common office software, ArcGIS and SASPAC. In addition to browsing through the detailed content, the site features a user profile form which assists users to profile their own learning needs and returns customised tutorial sequences through the four classes of resources relevant to their own work, accompanied by relevant examples.
