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 from their 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
