The Southeast Data Librarian Symposium (SEDLS) invites proposals for virtual workshops, short talks, and poster presentations for SEDLS 2020!
- The SEDLS 2020 conference will be held online October 7-9.
- The deadline for proposals is Friday, July 24.
The Southeast Data Librarian Symposium is intended to provide an opportunity for librarians and other research data specialists to explore developments in the field of data librarianship, including the management and sharing of research data. Topics of particular interest this year include using available tools for research data management, using data analysis and data visualization tools, providing data support for undergraduate research, and addressing data literacy in the curriculum.
In addition to learning about new work in the field, attendees will have the opportunity to network and build partnerships with regional colleagues. It is open to all who wish to attend, including LIS students, data managers, and data scientists. The program will consist of workshops, short presentations, and networking opportunities over a three-day period.
Submit your proposal here.
The 2020 Southeast Data Librarian Symposium will be Wednesday, October 7, to Friday, October 9, online. Zoom Pro for secure discussions is provided by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro University Libraries.
We understand that videoconferencing is not optimized for universal design and accessibility. Please contact the conference organizers, at se.datalibrarian@gmail.com, as soon as possible if you anticipate wanting accessibility support, so that we can design an approach that fits as much of our community as possible.
Questions should be directed to the conference organizers. See the SEDLS 2020 website for continued updates and information about the symposium. Follow @SEDataLibrarian on Twitter.
