We’re fortunate to have Belinda Weaver, a Library Carpentry expert, coming to UC in November.

Library Carpentry is made by librarians, for librarians to help you:

• automate repetitive, boring, error-prone tasks
• create, maintain and analyse sustainable and reusable data
• work effectively with IT and systems colleagues
• better understand the use of software in research

“I think training should be viewed as two-fold – helping people do their own jobs better but also thinking about which bits might be good for researchers to learn too. People should come along with the idea that they are helping themselves develop new skills that will help them stay employed in a highly disruptive technological environment, and that will also help researchers do more efficient, reproducible science (and thus help demonstrate the value librarians can bring to those researchers).”
– Belinda Weaver
