About the Southeast Data Librarian Symposium

Georgia Tech
Oct 8-9, 2018

Registration is now closed. We are looking forward to seeing y'all in Atlanta!

What:

The Southeast Data Librarian Symposium is intended to provide a low-cost opportunity for librarians and other research data specialists to gather and explore developments in the field of data librarianship, including the management and sharing of research data.

In addition to learning about new work in the field, attendees will have the opportunity to network and build partnerships with regional colleagues. It is open to all who wish to attend, including students, data managers and scientists, and those situated outside the Southeast. The meeting is styled after the successful Midwest Data Librarian Symposium, now in its fourth year.

The program will consist of workshops and networking opportunities over a two day period. Check out the Final Program.
