Open Access / Open Data
The movement towards open scholarship includes more than open access publishing. Join us this week to learn more about Open Data – how to find open datasets, and how to archive your research data so that it is as open as it can be, or as restricted as it needs to be.

De-mystifying Data Deposit!

Friday, October 29, 11a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
James Doiron, University of Alberta Library Research Data Management Services Coordinator, offers an information filled session focused upon research data deposit and data repository options available to University of Lethbridge researchers and graduate students. Topics covered will include the importance and benefits of research data deposit, how data deposit supports open science and the discovery of your research, emerging requirements relating to data deposit, and different types of data deposit scenarios. Additionally, James will provide information relating to available data repository options - including both Dataverse and the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) - including highlighting their key features.
