Leddy Library to host LIBER webinar: Finding and reusing research data

Leddy Library invites the campus community to take part in an Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) webinar on finding and reusing research data.

The sharing and reuse of research data encourages new discoveries and accelerates research. Data sharing is becoming common in a variety of research fields and is beginning to be required by funding agencies.

Kathleen Gregory, a researcher at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, will lead the webinar and share the results of her recent research on data search practices.

Participants of this webinar will walk away with an understanding of the different ways to find research data.

Members of the University of Windsor’s Research Data Management Working Group will be available to answer questions and collect input to apply to the University’s data management strategy.

The webinar will take place on Thursday, April 11, from 8 to 9 a.m. in room 4101, Leddy Library.

For more information, contact Roger Reka, science data librarian, by email at roger.reka@uwindsor.ca or by phone at 519-253-3000, ext. 3181.
