Seats Filling Quickly for University Libraries' Free Research Data Management Workshop
More than half of the spots available for the upcoming Research Data Management Workshop hosted by University Libraries April 4-5 are now reserved. The event is free, thanks to a grant from the Greater Western Library Alliance. However, registration is required, as seating is limited. Those wanting to participate can register online no later than March 25.
On April 4, expert presenters will lead the full-day program Building Your Research Data Management Toolkit: Integrating RDM into Your Liaison Work, produced by the Association of College and Research Libraries. On April 5, University of Arkansas researchers will hold panel discussions about the challenges of managing data. The program on this second day will end at noon. This workshop is designed for library and information professionals, as well as ITS staff, research office administrators and others who provide research support services.
