Get ahead on your research skills! These workshops are designed for graduate students and faculty but also open to undergraduates. 

What’s the best way to organize your research files so you, or you and your collaborators, can find what you need when you need it? What are best practices for naming files?  What is a README and why is it important? Attendees will come away with practical skills and tips for organizing research data in a way that is navigable across files and folders.  Come to this workshop — your future self and your collaborators will thank you! Taught by Carol Hollier, Sciences Reference & Outreach Librarian, Sciences Library.
