Registration for the Social Science Librarians Boot Camp is now open – https://www.regonline.com/sslbc2018. Regular registration is $60; the student rate is $30.
The eighth annual Social Science Librarians Boot Camp will be held Friday, June 1, 2018 at Tisch Library, Tufts University (Medford, MA). It is a low-cost, day-long program that will feature expert lectures from Dr. Claire Wardle on fighting misinformation, and Eric Huntley on data visualization, a panel discussion with first-generation college students, and a bevy of afternoon workshops on topics such as zines, copyright, losing your fear of public speaking, mapping Census data, research data management, and text analysis for the social sciences. Once again, we’ll be offering informal discussion groups with topics generated by the attendees in advance. Take a look at the preliminary information on speakers and sessions at the 2018 SSLBC website.
A few more things
- We’ve updated our Code of Conduct this year. Take a look before you register.
- We can no longer offer free parking for attendees. Parking is available for $8 in the Dowling Hall garage. The Medford/Somerville campus is well-served by bus lines, and is about a 15 minute walk from the Davis Square T stop. Check out our Travel Info page for more detail.
