Afternoon Tour: Data Visualization Research Lab (12:15 pm - 1:00 pm)
http://ccom.unh.edu/vislab
The Data Visualization Research Lab (DVRL) has the goal of carrying out research into advanced interactive visualization. The lab is has a special interest in techniques that can be applied to ocean mapping and ocean technologies in general. There are three broad strategies of research carried out: The Science of Data Visualization, Tool Building, and Visualizations for Education and Outreach. We will tour their facility which is located in the UNH Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center. This will be an opportunity to see how an institution is providing data vis services to the campus outside of the library.

Lunch 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Participants will have lunch on their own. Options include campus dining locations or at another off-campus restaurant. Please be aware that all these options require walking, so participants may want to bring their own lunch.

Afternoon Event: The 4th Research Data Management Roundtable (2:00 pm - 4:30 pm)
Topic: "Event Planning and Outreach"
This is the fourth in a series of informal roundtable discussions on specific research data management topics. In this set of discussions, participants will focus on event planning and outreach related to marketing planned events. We'll discuss what types of events participants are organizing, who libraries are partnering with, how events are promoted, and much more!

We encourage all to come and participate! Haven't planned an RDM event yet? Not sure where to start? Come get ideas! Have lots of experience with planning events? We want to hear from you! Come share your flyers, materials, or lessons learned from your efforts!
