Explore digital scholarship tools at library workshops this spring!

Kelvin Smith Library will offer a Digital Scholarship Workshop Series this spring to introduce participants to the powerful concepts, methods, and tools of digital scholarship that may not be covered in regular instruction. Digital scholarship partners will lead hands-on workshops that explore data, where to find it, what to do with it, and how to use it to your advantage in your academic pursuits in all areas. Click the link below to see a list of sessions, descriptions, and registration on CampusGroups. Our series kicks off with Evaluating Journal Quality on Tuesday, January 30th from 1 to 2 p.m. Due to the hands-on nature of the workshops, many require registration. Attend one or attend them all!
