Assessing Your Toolkit: Is the Research Data Management Roadshow For You
Research data management has emerged as a need among academic researchers, and liaisons are building skills in response. The RDM Workshop will assist liaisons to identify their existing skills and mindsets that transfer to research data management services and then create a learning plan for the RDM-specific knowledge needed to serve their subject disciplines. Join three of the presenters for this workshop to assess your data management training skills, learn about the full workshop content, and gain more information about this continuing education opportunity that can be brought to your organization upon request.
Speakers: Christina Chan-Park, Baylor University; Abigail Goben, University of Illinois Chicago; Laura Palumbo, Rutgers University
Intersections Open House: What are the Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy, and What Can They Do for You?
Scholarly communication and information literacy are dynamic and intersecting strands in librarianship. They not only reinforce each other, they also further the larger aims of students, faculty, librarians, and entire institutions. We will guide participants in uncovering core concepts of the intersections and reflecting on how the intersections can strengthen various library initiatives. We’ll provide examples of how the intersections bolster the messages of librarians in various roles. We will also describe how the Intersections workshop can move your professional goals from idea to reality. Finally, we’ll have an open discussion about how the intersections can help you and your institution.
Speakers: Maryam Fakouri, Columbia College Chicago; Emma Molls, University of Minnesota; Michelle Reed, University of Texas at Arlington; John Watts, University of Nevada-Las Vegas
