Wendy Kozlowski from Cornell University, Evan Simpson from Tufts University and Kristin Bogdan from Yale University will talk about how their libraries have worked with others across campus to provide access to ELN software, incorporating ELNs as part of the larger research data management support system, and some possible future directions for ELNs in academic libraries. *Registration required: *https://www.asist.org/events/webinars/ *Cost*: FREE *Flier:* https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh1D_Wv66FqbjNnaF9HY20ydDQ/view?pli=1 *Sponsored by:* *ASIS&T SIG-STI* (Association for Information Science & Technology - Special Interest Group - Scientific and Technical Information): http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGSTI/wordpress/ *ACRL-STS HTDG* (Association of College and Research Libraries - Science & Technology Section, Hot Topics Discussion Group): http://www.ala.org/acrl/sts/acr-stsdggen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Please, excuse cross-posting** Feel free to distribute to any interested party. -- Moriana L.

Best, Yasmeen ---------------------------------------------------- Greetings! Those of us from the Odum Institute want to share this fantastic summer opportunity for continuing your education! The *Data Matters: Data Science Summer Workshop Series* is a week-long series of classes for researchers, data analysts, and other individuals who wish to increase their skills in data studies and integrate data science methods into their research designs and skill sets. Both one- and two-day courses will be offered from *June 22 to 26, 2015* and run *from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Chapel Hill, North Carolina*. Participants are welcome to register for one, two, or three classes. Examples of a couple of the courses offered in this workshop series are ? *Data Curation: Managing Data throughout the Research Lifecycle** (June 22-23)* This course will provide an introduction to 1) the diversity of data and their management needs across the research data lifecycle, 2) the impetus and importance of preserving and sharing data, 3) the processes required for preserving and sharing data, 4) digital repository activities and assessment, and 5) the role of advocacy and communication when discussing data management best practices. Participants will also be given demonstrations of digital curation tools including the Dataverse? open source virtual archive platform. ? *Open(ing) Data: Considerations in Data Sharing and Reuse** (June 24)* This workshop will examine the opportunities and challenges of open access to data resources and some of the open-source mechanisms available to share research data. Specifically, participants will learn about 1) the open data access movement, 2) data security considerations, 3) protection of the confidentiality of research participants, 4) the process of anonymizing datasets, 5) embargos and rights of first use, 6) access restrictions, 7) data ownership, 8) data citation, and 9) other ethical questions related to data sharing and reuse.
