Cancelled. Analyzing Health on the Local Level: Accessing State and Regional Substance Use Data This workshop is part of National Recovery Month 2022.

National Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery from substance use and mental health, just as we celebrate improvements made by individuals who are recovering from other health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease are celebrated.

In this workshop, the presenter will provide information about how local and regional health departments share health data and how to make use of the data to see trends, inform practice, and develop or assess initiatives.

It is recommended that you make use of Microsoft Excel during the workshop; however, it is not required, and you can still participate without completing the hands-on activities.

Library Carpentry Workshop Summer 2022 We are excited to offer a Library Carpentry workshop on July 18 and 19 for our NNLM Members in order to learn about tools for efficiency and reproducibility in research.

This workshop is focused on Library Carpentry. The curriculum will include the following lessons:

Regular Expressions

Unix Shell

Tidy Data

OpenRefine

Introduction to Git

The target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational experience, and the instructors put a priority on creating a friendly environment to empower researchers and enable data-driven discovery.

Even those with some experience will benefit, as the goal is to teach not only how to do analyses, but how to manage the process to make it as automated and reproducible as possible.

This is an online, two full-day workshop (14 hours total). Please be mindful about registering. Register if you are committed to attending and actively participating since space is limited.

Participants must use a laptop with a Windows, Mac or Linux operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on.
