This lab introduces students and other interested users to the Neotoma Paleoecology Database and Neotoma Explorer. Neotoma DB is a public-access and community-supported repository of paleoecological data, mostly from the late Quaternary. These data are widely used by scientists to study species responses to past climate change.

(Note: this resource was added to OER Commons as part of a batch upload of over 2,200 records. If you notice an issue with the quality of the metadata, please let us know by using the 'report' button and we will flag it for consideration.)

This is an exercise developed for use at the California Academy of Sciences by an undergraduate-level class which explores paleontology or the history of life.
Students are asked to explore the California Academy of Sciences, and explain how their collections are organized and why such collections are important.
Students are then asked to apply critical thinking skills and their knowledge of the scientific method to the exhibition on dinosaurs.

Labor Equity in Open Science is an interactive lesson plan designed to introduce students to labor equity issues in open science practices. The lesson is designed for MLIS students, and assumes no prior knowledge. During the lesson, students are given a persona representing a researcher, encompassing various professional and personal identities. Students are then given multiple scenarios and asked to predict how their persona would respond and why. Through group discussion and personal reflection, students consider the ways that researchers in different positions engage with open science in different ways.

The Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) is a mixed-media repository that holds the historical records related to the study of philanthropy. These archival materials serve as the entry point into learning how to identify, read, and analyze primary sources in the workshop. This workshop teaches students the value of primary source literacy and ownership of the research process.

There is numerous research that shows the use of physical computing devices as a teaching tool in introductory computer programming classes, increases student interest. Cybersecurity is a field that is in high demand. Students should have the opportunity to be exposed to cybersecurity principles in the classroom, with the hope of sparking an interest in this growing field. This series of lessons will explore the use of LittleBits circuits to teach introductory cybersecurity principles and if it increases student interest in the field of cybersecurity.

"Learning Data Ethics for Data Sharing" is an Open Educational Resource (OER) for library students, data librarians, or researchers interested in learning how to ethically share data into data repositories. Often DEIA topics are discussed in terms of data collection or in regards to public use of data; this work attempts to target responsible ethics at the process that is occurring while preparing to share data, with the goal of creating FAIR access to the data and reusability for future research.
