The Midwest and Midcontinental Chapters of the Medical Library Association will be co-hosting a free Library Carpentry workshop through funding from NNLM Region 4. The workshop will be held online over three days between Thursday, April 4, and Sunday, April 7. Exact dates and times haven’t yet been determined.
We will have 25 spots available and are prioritizing members of the Midwest and Midcontinental Chapters.
Library Carpentry focuses on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities. Their hands-on, approachable workshops empower people in a variety of roles to use software and data in their own work and support effective, efficient, reproducible practices. Learn more about Library Carpentry on its website.
In this 3-day interactive, hands-on virtual workshop you will learn core data skills to help you build confidence in working with data in library- and information-related settings. During the April, 2024, workshop, we will be covering the following lessons:
- Introduction to Working with Data (Regular Expressions)
- OpenRefine
- Tidy Data for Librarians
- Introduction to R and/or Introduction to Python and/or SQL
