Abstract: Libraries and archives are increasingly responsible for
curation of digital data. This includes not only acquiring and managing
data but curation within the context of libraries and archives. It will
be an interactive event, include a combination of lecture, discussion
and also engagement with data creators and facilitating new forms of
research through data use. This workshop will provide participants with
an introduction to the primary opportunities, challenges, principles and
strategies for addressing data practical exercises.
There are two registration options: Certificate Program, and
Non-Certificate Program. Participants who wish to engage in a specific
project of interest can work with an instructor to do so. These
participants will receive a certificate of accomplishment from the
School of Information and Library Science UNC-Chapel Hill and the
Charleston Conference following the completion of their project work and
approval from the supervising faculty.
