Events - June 2018

Have you heard increasing references to ‘data science’ about campus?  Arcana such as ‘data notebooks’ and ‘APIs’ dropped into conversations?  Weird mention of animals like pythons and pandas?  If you fancy a non-threatening peek at a few basic data science tools in the Python ecosystem, or you just need to give the old eyeballs a break from the Excel grind, come and eat your lunch with us. Presented by Jonathan Sutherland.

Construction on campus has meant the loss of some trees. The Library and Registrar’s Office are having a joint fundraiser this week (June 18-21) to raise $300.00 toward planting a tree on campus!

Make your donation and enter to win one of 7 WatCard top-ups! Fill out 1 entry for donating $2.00 and 2 entries for $3.00. Donation jars are located in the 1^st and 5^th floor lunchrooms in Porter and the lunchroom in Davis.  Prizes will be drawn on the 21^st.

Thank you for helping to make our campus greener!

NISO webinar: Innovative tools and apps: What’s hot

Are there interesting new tools and/or apps emerging that are revolutionizing the work being done by scholars, researchers, and students? This event will convene a variety of information community professionals to talk about the tool or app that they know to be indispensable to either themselves or their community. What does it do? Why is it important? What else do you wish it did? And what does this resource portend for the future?
