Love Data Week is an international celebration of data that aims to promote good data practices, while building and engaging a community around topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, and reuse. Join us for our weeklong series of events dedicated to helping you improve the organization of your data while taking steps towards better overall data management through the LabArchives Research Notebook.
Pick and choose the sessions that interest you or attend all the sessions for a comprehensive look at LabArchives and how you can improve your research data management regimen. New for this year – they are also offering sessions on other LabArchives products including LabArchives Inventory and LabArchives Scheduler.
Please view the schedule below and register now! Each session will be capped at 100 attendees.
Available sessions:
Introduction to LabArchives for Researchers (60 minutes) – For new users that need help with the basics or current users that need a refresher on how to create notebooks, add and manage your data, notebook access controls, collaboration tools, and export options.
Creating Templates to Standardize the Collection and Management of Data (45 minutes) – We recommend using templates in LabArchives to create a consistent entry format for documenting and tracking information. Once created, this form can be reused by all members of the notebook to provide consistency and a clear list of data requirements. Join this session to see examples of templates, how you can create your own, and reuse them.
Best Practices and Tips for Establishing Your Notebook’s Structure (30 minutes) – The LabArchives Research Notebook begins as a blank slate that is meant to be flexible so that you can customize the structure to complement current workflows. Join this session for a closer look at how you can use our built-in layouts or set up a notebook using other popular structures including: project and grant-based, individual researcher-based notebooks, date-based, or team and company notebooks to manage shared materials for reference purposes.
Open Office Hours and Drop-in Consults (60 minutes) – Bring your questions (big or small) to this session and meet directly with one of our team members. We will be available for quick screen shares for feature questions and demos, and to discuss best practices and tips that are most relevant to you. Drop-in any time during the hour to speak with us. Registration is required.
