Data Wrangling with R Workshop

Working on a data-oriented research project or wondering how to prepare your data for analysis and/or visualization? This Endangered Data Week workshop provides an introduction to R and the tidyverse libraries for gathering, cleaning, and organizing data. No prior experience with R required.

Sponsored by the Digital Library Federation, Endangered Data Week, February 25 - March 1, 2019, is an international, collaborative effort, coordinated across campuses, nonprofits, libraries, citizen science initiatives, and cultural heritage institutions to shed light on public datasets that are in danger of being deleted, repressed, mishandled, or lost. Endangered Data Week seeks to promote care for endangered collections by publicizing the availability of datasets; increasing critical engagement with them, including through visualization and analysis; and by encouraging political activism for open data policies and the fostering of data skills through workshops on curation, documentation and discovery, improved access, and preservation.

UNO Libraries is hosting two hands-on workshops on working with data. More information about related events can be found at endangereddataweek.org.

Workshops are free and open to all. To register, visit https://unomaha.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/dr-c-c-and-mabel-l-criss-library.

Workshops are scheduled for the following dates:

• 2/25: Data Wrangling with R
