The Data Curation Network as part of
the IMLS funded project, “Developing Specialized Data Curation Training
to Address Needed Expertise in Focused Areas“ (RE-252343-OLS-22
) is excited to
announce a two-day in-person workshop
on October 17-18, 2023, at the Duke Campus in Durham, NC. This project uses
a community-based approach to develop new curriculum materials for unique
data types. We are looking for information professionals to help us pilot
the new materials and engage with the curation community!
At this workshop participants will consider the curation of four specific
data types–geospatial data, code, simulations, and scientific images–and
provide feedback to assist the instructional cohorts to refine their
teaching materials. The workshop will build upon the CURATED
Steps and participants
will be asked to come to the workshop with a general understanding of the
model (either via attendance at a previous CURATED training, attending a 3
hour synchronous online session to be offered to all participants in late
September, or completing the asynchronous online CURATED modules
).
We invite applications from librarians and data stewards, researchers,
domain-repository curators, and information professionals. Four travel
scholarships are available for individuals at minority serving
institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and
Hispanic Serving Institutions, members of, historically marginalized
communities, early career, non-traditional librarians, paraprofessionals,
and graduate students interested in data curation. All participants will
receive a small stipend ($500). Applications will be reviewed using the
DCN’s publicly available rubric
.
Please complete this application by
August 15. Acceptance emails will be sent out by August 25. *Please note
that currently international applications are not being accepted due to
funding limitations.*
