Dashboards for data visualisation, such as R Shiny and Tableau, allow an interactive exploration of data by means of drop-down lists and checkboxes, with no coding for the user. The apps can be useful for both the data analyst and the public.

This is a full length textbook explaining copyright for librarians. It has a particularly helpful chapter explaining international treaties and the Berne three-step test. The chapter on "creative approaches and alternatives" has a helpful introduction to the Creative Commons as well as Open Access.

It also has helpful case study examples to demonstrate the concepts in an applied manner which really will help students to better understand the content of the textbook.

The Digital Dexterity framework for library professionals originated at a workshop facilitated by Helen Beetham in Sydney in January 2019 (attended by over 70 library professionals from across Australia and New Zealand). The workshop outcomes were subsequently refined by a group of library professionals “Digital Dexterity champions” – as such this is a framework developed by library professionals for library professionals.

This Library Carpentry lesson introduces archivists to working with data. At the conclusion of the lesson you will: be able to explain terms, phrases, and concepts in code or software development; identify and use best practice in data structures; use regular expressions in searches.

Original data has become more accessible thanks to cultural and technological advances. On the internet, we can find innumerable data sets from sources such as scientific journals and repositories, local and national governments, and non-governmental organisations. Often, these data may be presented in novel ways, by creating new tables or plots, or by integrating additional data. Free, open-source software has become a great companion for open data. This open scholarship project offers free workshops and coding meet-ups (hackathons) to learn and practise data presentation, across the UK. It is made possible by a fellowship of the Software Sustainability Institute.

This guide was created to provide definitions and resources for bioinformatics and genomics terms frequently seen in literature. Each term has been linked to it's original source for additional information and resources. This guide is intended for anyone who is interested in learning more about bioinformatics or genomics. Designed to provide concise yet easy to understand definitions, this allows users with any background level in genomics and bioinformatics to gain a better understanding of some commonly used terms and phrases.

Purpose: To introduce methods and tools in organization, documentation, automation, and dissemination of research that nudge it further along the reproducibility spectrum.OutcomeParticipants feel more confident applying reproducibility methods and tools to their own research projects.ProcessParticipants practice new methods and tools with code and data during the workshop to explore what they do and how they might work in a research workflow. Participants can compare benefits of new practices and ask questions to help clarify which would provide them the most value to adopt.

As the costs of scholarly and educational publications skyrocket, open educational resources (OER) are becoming an important way to provide content and enhance the teaching and learning experience. Librarians have a key role to play in developing, advocating, and managing OER.

Library Carpentry lesson: An introduction to Git. What We Will Try to Do Begin to understand and use Git/GitHub. You will not be an expert by the end of the class. You will probably not even feel very comfortable using Git. This is okay. We want to make a start but, as with any skill, using Git takes practice. Be Excellent to Each Other If you spot someone in the class who is struggling with something and you think you know how to help, please give them a hand. Try not to do the task for them: instead explain the steps they need to take and what these steps will achieve. Be Patient With The Instructor and Yourself This is a big group, with different levels of knowledge, different computer systems. This isn’t your instructor’s full-time job (though if someone wants to pay them to play with computers all day they’d probably accept). They will do their best to make this session useful. This is your session. If you feel we are going too fast, then please put up a pink sticky. We can decide as a group what to cover.

This is a tool to use in evaluating school library facilities. It can be used by a team of evaluators, as a precursor to renovations, to look at equity throughout a school district, or by an individual librarian or administrator.

Headlines and scholarly publications portray a crisis in biomedical and health sciences. In this webinar, you will learn what the crisis is and the vital role of librarians in addressing it. You will see how you can directly and immediately support reproducible and rigorous research using your expertise and your library services. You will explore reproducibility guidelines and recommendations and develop an action plan for engaging researchers and stakeholders at your institution. #MLAReproducibilityLearning OutcomesBy the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: describe the basic history of the “reproducibility crisis” and define reproducibility and replicability explain why librarians have a key role in addressing concerns about reproducibility, specifically in terms of the packaging of science explain 3-4 areas where librarians can immediately and directly support reproducible research through existing expertise and services start developing an action plan to engage researchers and stakeholders at their institution about how they will help address research reproducibility and rigorAudienceLibrarians who work with researchers; librarians who teach, conduct, or assist with evidence-synthesis or critical appraisal, and managers and directors who are interested in allocating resources toward supporting research rigor. No prior knowledge or skills required. Basic knowledge of scholarly research and publishing helpful.

The Music Librarianship Course working group developed this syllabus from 2019-2021, centering the principles of critical music librarianship with a particular focus on social justice and antiracist practices. This working group was funded by a Music Library Association grant. The syllabus may be used as a template for library educators or as a self-guided independent study for Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) students attending programs without a specialization in music librarianship. Learn more about our process in our white paper on the need for online music librarianship offerings and our MLA conference poster on the course planning project are in Humanities Commons. 

The OPEN (Open Project Engagement Network) Incubator is a research development program and modular curriculum designed to advance a project from idea to proof-of-concept, infused with and aware of open scholarship principles and practices.

The open-access.net platform provides comprehensive information on the subject of Open Access (OA) and offers practical advice on its implementation. Developed collaboratively by the Freie Universität Berlin and the Universities of Goettingen, Konstanz, and Bielefeld, open-access.net first went online at the beginning of May 2007. The platform's target groups include all relevant stakeholders in the science sector, especially the scientists and scholars themselves, university and research institution managers, infrastructure service providers such as libraries and data centres, and funding agencies and policy makers. open-access.net provides easy, one-stop access to comprehensive information on OA.

Aspects covered include OA concepts, legal, organisational and technical frameworks, concrete implementation experiences, initiatives, services, service providers, and position papers. The target-group-oriented and discipline-specific presentation of the content enables users to access relevant themes quickly and efficiently. Moreover, the platform offers practical implementation advice and answers to fundamental questions regarding OA.
In collaboration with cooperation partners in Austria (the University of Vienna) and Switzerland (the University of Zurich), country-specific web pages for these two countries have been integrated into the platform - especially in the Legal Issues section.

Each year since 2007, the information platform has organised the "Open Access Days" at alternating venues in collaboration with local partners. This event is the key conference on OA and Open Science in the German-speaking area.

With funding from the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts (MWK) of the State of Baden-Württemberg, the platform underwent a complete technical and substantive overhaul in 2015.
