Starting January 4th, the club with be meeting every other Thursday from 12-2pm in Olin 701
Over the past year and a half the Metadata Working Group has been sponsoring workshops in metadata clean-up and curation but we realized we needed to provide a space for people to practice those skills with support from others in CUL. We also knew that it needed to be a meeting that staff could work into their routine - so we're making it a revolving drop-in meeting, every other Thursday afternoon in Olin 701 (the Digital Humanities Lab).
A few things to mention:
- There are a few computers in this lab but feel free to bring your own laptop if you have one.
- The club is open to all interested CUL staff members.
- We follow the "Hacker School rules," which is to say that this is a safe, judgement-free space.
We can't promise we can solve your metadata problems but if you're having difficulty chances are that there's an easier way to do it. This group can hopefully start conversations among staff trying to solve similar problems.
Hope to see you in the new year.
