Our fall 2020 semester has officially started, and wherever you are joining us from, we are glad you are here! I am really happy to share that we have a full lineup of virtual workshops for the upcoming semester, many of which have a distinct Tartan Datascapes flavor! What's the benefit of attending a Libraries workshop? It's a great chance to learn some new skills in a short amount of time, and can be an excellent supplement to your teaching/learning/research/professional development. So, if you've ever wanted to learn more about making data visualizations, tidying data, writing a data management plan, or even how to learn about data management through Pokémon, this is your chance! All sessions are conducted via Zoom, and a Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants prior to the workshop. Space is limited, so register as soon as you can!
If you see any that pique your interest, click on the title of the workshop and you will be taken to the registration page! I've organized them into four general categories below:
