UMass 2017 eScience Symposium Message-ID: <6806253756CE0C4CB2112B1B715DB098B93B5CA4@ummscsmbx11.ad.umassmed.edu> There is still time to register for the eScience Symposium next month! The 9th Annual University of Massachusetts and New England Area Librarian e-Science Symposium Thursday, April 6, 2017 | 8am - 5pm University of Massachusetts Medical School Faculty Conference Room Worcester, Massachusetts The symposium is free of charge, but advance registration is required. Please register now! To continue to enhance collaborative New England Region libraries' support of e-science initiatives for their research institutions, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region is hosting the University of Massachusetts and New England Area Librarian e-Science Symposium. This day-long event will serve as an educational and collaborative opportunity for science and health sciences librarians to discuss e-science resources, in addition to future roles that libraries and librarians might take on to support their institutions. The 2017 Symposium theme "Libraries in Data Science: Addressing Gaps and Bridges" will focus on collaborations and opportunities for librarians becoming involved in data science at their institutions. Attendees will hear a keynote from Kristi Holmes, Director Galter Health Sciences Library, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. Her keynote will focus on her library's success involved in Northwestern University's NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. We hope this session will inspire and motive attendees to "think outside" the library and identify potential bridges for data services. Breakout sessions are back this year! Participants will be able to attend 2 of 4 planned sessions featuring collaborations libraries are currently involved in. See complete descriptions. Options include: * Data Repositories Interactive Workshop: Andrew Creamer and Hope Lappen, Brown University * Education & Training Interactive Workshop: Sophie Hou, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and Nancy Hoebelheinrich, Knowledge Motifs, LLC * Education & Training Presentation: Sex, Lies, and Data with Shea Swauger, University of Colorado - Denver * Institutional Models Presentation: Christine Malinowski and Phoebe Ayers, MIT In the afternoon, there will be a moderated panel discussing the ways librarians and libraries can work with institutional partners (either on/off campus) to enhance data science. The panel will be moderated by Sally Gore, Research Evaluation Analyst, University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science. Participants on the panel include: * Daina Bouquin, Head Librarian, John G. Wolbach Library, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics * Audrey Mickle, Data Librarian, Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Library * Yvette N. Woell, Manager, Argonne Research Library, Argonne National Laboratory More information can be found on the 2017 symposium conference webpage!

NEASIST is hosting a Library Carpentry workshop on May 15 @ MIT. It?s hands-on, and there?s a great ratio of instructors to participants, so sign up before all the spaces are filled! The one-day workshop will cover jargon busting, data structures, using regular expressions for pattern matching, use of the Bash shell (aka the command line) to speed up and automate tasks, and using OpenRefine for data cleanup. We welcome groups enrolling as this helps with post-workshop integration of the skills. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own work. You don't need experience to participate -- beginners are welcome. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/library-carpentry-boston-edition-tickets-32986191587. There?s a special $30 rate for ASIST members, and event sponsor NNLM NER is offering five scholarships for registration and travel expenses. We?re grateful to the other organizations involved: MIT, NNLM NER, and Library Carpentry, especially lead instructors Belinda Weaver and Juliane Schneider. Instructors Belinda Weaver Belinda Weaver organised the 2016 global sprint that took Library Carpentry from a single London workshop to a growing global community. A former librarian and repository manager, she now provides eResearch infrastructure to researchers at Queensland universities. Based in Brisbane, Australia, she is a certified Software Carpentry instructor and instructor trainer and serves on the Software Carpentry Steering Committee.

In 2016, with fellow UCSD librarian Tim Dennis, she organized and taught the first Library Carpentry workshop in the United States, and is a certified Data Carpentry instructor.

Whether we work in cataloging and metadata, scholarly communication, archives, public services, instruction, or another area of librarianship, we have all heard a rhetoric of crisis, transformation, and rapid change applied to our work. The challenges we face have provided an opportunity to refocus on the foundations of our profession: our purpose and our areas of expertise. In reflecting on and redefining our work and ourselves, we are reframing librarianship for the 21st Century. This exciting topic will be kicked off by keynote Suzanne Wones , Director of Library Digital Strategies and Innovations at Harvard Library. *In this era of reinvention, how are we reframing ourselves, the work that we do, and our libraries?* *How are we communicating around this shift within our institutions and beyond?* Join us for a day full of professional enrichment, loaded with fantastic programming , networking opportunities, and ideas that will pique your curiosity and challenge your intellect. Since we'll be situated in beautiful Burlington, we encourage you to come for the conference, stay for the weekend ! Not already a member of ACRL New England? Join our organization today and register at the member rate! *DON?T MISS OUT:* Want to save money on travel to the conference? Try using Rideshare this year!
