ACRL’s Science and Technology Section’s Data Curation & Assessment Committee invites you to attend the webinar “Making Analog Data Accessible: Preserving data of scientific and cultural importance at two institutions”. It will take place on Thursday, April 18, at 1:00 PM CDT. Join us to learn about analog data projects your colleagues are working on!
Amanda Bielskas is the Director of the Science, Engineering, & Social Sciences Libraries at Columbia University. She works with material from the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), where Technical Reports are a set of nearly 300 scientific reports dating from 1949 to 2003. Bielskas will provide an overview of the process of digitizing, cataloging, preserving, and making this hidden collection discoverable.
