UC DLFx 2018: Intro to Library Carpentry

By UC Riverside Library

Date and time

Thursday, March 1, 2018 · 8:30am - 5:30pm PST

Location

Tomás Rivera Library, Room 140

900 University Avenue Riverside, CA 92521

Description

This full-day workshop will cover the “Introduction to Data” and “Unix Shell” lessons of Library Carpentry. You don’t need previous knowledge of the tools presented. The lessons bust technical jargon, demonstrate the power of the command line interface and give attendees the power to work with directories and files, find and manipulate data, and do complex search/replace.

Library Carpentry is made by librarians, for librarians to help you: automate boring repetitive tasks; create, maintain, and analyze sustainable and reusable data, work effectively with IT and systems colleagues, and better understand the use of software in research.

The classes introduce fundamentals of computing, provide a platform for further self-directed learning, and are relevant to all areas of librarianship.

NOTE: Registration is capped at 30 people. If we get less than 10 registrants, we will not hold a workshop and reschedule a Carpentry in Southern California at another date.
