Library Carpentry: How can we help?

[Mary Mary Mary]

Dear DH Colleagues

Apologies for any cross posting... and thank you if you have already responded to a very similar survey on the carpentries... 

The delightful people at the Library Carpentries Advisory Group have requested your consideration in sharing the following survey:

The Library Carpentry Advisory Group is reaching out to librarians, information professionals and GLAM professional networks worldwide to understand your data and software training requirements. 

Library Carpentry (https://librarycarpentry.org/about/) focuses on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities (including GLAM - galleries, libraries, archives and museums). Our goal is to empower people in these roles to use software and data in their own work and to become advocates for and train others in efficient, effective, and reproducible data and software practices.

Who should do this survey? 

1. Do you have an interest in or responsibility to apply data and software skills to your work?

2. Have you attended, taught or helped run a Library Carpentry or Carpentries workshop?

3. Are you willing to share your perspective on upskilling library and information professionals in next generation digital research methods, for example data cleaning, programming, reproducibility, data visualization?

4. Do you support or train researchers in research data management, FAIR principles or scholarly communication?

If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, we want to hear from you!

More than one response per institution is welcome.

Access the survey (time commitment about 20 mins) 

The extended deadline for participation is July 31, 2021.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Kind regards,

Birgit Schmidt, Konrad Förstner

The Library Carpentry Advisory Group
