The Library is pleased to announce a workshop series aimed at expanding your data best practices. Starting on July 18th, we will host 6 data management workshops exploring different stages of the research data lifecycle, including data management planning, data cleaning, visualizing, storing, sharing, and preserving.

Tuesday, July 18, 2:00PM - 3:30PM Data Management Planning with the DMPTool Instructional Center, 37 Dewey Field Road Data management plans are critical for compliance on most sponsored projects. But what are the essentials of a fundable data management plan? This workshop will cover the basics of data management planning, the top 10 things to consider when writing DMPs for grants, and use of the DMPTool. This hands-on session will include time to work on your own DMP using the DMPTool. Presenter: Lora Leligdon, Physical Sciences Librarian Thursday, July 20, 2:00PM - 3:30PM Data Management with Excel Instructional Center, 37 Dewey Field Actively managing your research data is an important part of the research data lifecycle and a critical component for compliance.

Presenter: Pamela Bagley, Research and Education Librarian Tuesday, July 25, 2:00PM - 3:30PM Data Sharing and Preservation Instructional Center, 37 Dewey Field What happens to your data after the project is complete? What will you do to ensure that your research data will be reusable by you or others tomorrow, five years from now, even ten years from now? In this workshop, we will discuss some practical strategies and best practices for preserving and sharing your data.
