Introduction

This supplement has updates, changes, additions, and corrections for GIS Tutorial 1:

Basic Workbook, 10.1 edition (2013). There are many reasons for this supplement. First,

websites are frequently updated, so workbook steps or readings that have you refer to

or use websites often need changing. Second, the developers of ArcGIS for Desktop

provide quarterly software releases, and developers of ArcGIS Online make continuous

updates. These GIS software changes often dictate corresponding changes in the

workbook. This supplement provides information so that you can use the book with

ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop. Finally, there remain some errors or unclear workbook

instructions found by users, such as you, that simply need to be fixed. Please e-mail

either of the authors (
