ESRI publishes a huge array of instructional and guest speaker podcasts.

Georeferencing and digitizing Worksheets:

Three common questions many new (or even long time) GIS users often have are:

  1. How can I take a map image (scanned or from the web or elsewhere) that is not geo-referenced and make it line up correctly with other maps in my GIS?
  2. I have GIS layer that I need to make changes to on the map. How do I do this?
  3. I want create my own layer of features by drawing them into the map. How does this work?
