NNLM MAR is offering two special professional development awards to support the $2,500 registration fee for:
Data Science and Visualization Institute for Librarians
April 24-28, 2017
James B. Hunt Jr. Library, North Carolina State University
This is a week-long course providing the opportunity for librarians passionate about research and scholarship to immerse themselves in learning about data science and visualization in collaboration with academic peers. Participants will develop knowledge, skills, and confidence to communicate effectively with faculty and student researchers about their data and be able to provide initial consultancy on the course topics. Led by expert instructors, sessions will be interactive and will focus on mastery of core concepts, with hands-on exposure to select open source and highly used commercial tools. Sharing of practices and experiences across institutions will be encouraged.
Application deadline for the Institute: January 27.
Contact Renae Barger if you have submitted an application for the Data Science and Visualization Institute and are interested in one of these professional development awards. Awards will be given on a first-come, first-served basis after notification of acceptance.
