We have made a small list of available web maps to help you explore the capabilities of ArcGIS Online. We have created a library research guide to help you get started with ArcGIS Online.

Esri offers a number of add-on tools for AGO.  Each one varies in quality and usefulness. Feel free to suggest some of your own favorites!  They all require an existing ArcGIS Online account, so make sure to login to AGO with your UCSBnetID before doing anything else.
