Librarians

You know about Symplectic Elements as a way to gather the outputs of our research community but have you ever wanted to know more about the connections between funding and publications?

Are you completely new to Twitter and struggling to start? Or are you already on Twitter but know you could be making better use of it to promote yourself and your library? Join Librarians In Training for an interactive workshop aimed at helping librarians to make the most of their time online.

Librarians are used to dealing with data in all its forms but sometimes researchers aren't so sure. Many funders now require evidence from the researcher of how they plan to manage the data they use and collect during the research process and this often has to be tailored to specific guidelines. This presents a great opportunity for library staff to work with the research community but how do they get started?

Introductory digital methods training from Cambridge Digital Humanities

Led by Katie Hughes (Office of Scholarly Communication, University Library) and Dr Anne Alexander (Cambridge Digital Humanities)

This session is designed to provide library staff with hints and tips on academic publishing pathways from an experienced journal editor.
The session will look at what happens during the publishing process as well as how to best navigate the world of academic publishing.
It would be of use to those librarians supporting researchers with publications and those looking to publish their own work.

Have you produced your own software? Did you know you can decide how others can reuse and share it? Do you know that there are a range of licences that you could apply to your work that determine how it can be used?

A digital methods workshop organised by Cambridge Digital Humanities

Dr Jane Secker and Chris Morison, creators of the hugely successful Copyright Card Game, bring their new creation to Cambridge. Looking at the world of scholarly communication this interactive game aims to offer librarians a better understanding of the implications of copyright and other decisions on the publication process. Player will work in teams to move through the different stages of a research career from PhD submission to Professorship, making decisions on a range of scenarios along the way.
