Pre-Conference Workshops

All workshops will take place on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, in UNCW's Randall Library.

OpenRefine Introduction with Jerry Waller, Elon University

Working with semi-structured or malformed data requires skills that cross disciplines. Fortunately there are tools that make cleaning and standardizing data easier. This half-day workshop's goals are to introduce participants to OpenRefine, cover basic strategies for its use, and perform exercises to familiarize them with its capabilities. Participants will complete guided exercises where they clean and sort sample data. Participants are expected to have a current Java SE Runtime Environment and an installation of the most recent version of OpenRefine. The Chrome browser, or its open-source sibling Chromium, are needed for full compatibility with OpenRefine's user interface.

Limit: 20 attendees
Cost: $15
Location: Randall Library, UNCW
Time: 1:00-4:00 p.m.

How to Tame your Dragon: Learning to Befriend your Backlog through Efficient Processing with Kelly Spring, East Carolina University

This full-day workshop will give practitioners the tools they need to confidently face a backlog. The instructor will guide participants through exercises that inspire the development or enhancement of scalable, flexible processing programs that are designed to gradually tame the archival backlog. Attendees will create their own output and come away with solutions tailored to their institution’s specific needs. Topics covered will include archival project management, extensible processing, and ethics in the face of a changing archival landscape. The workshop will also address working with volunteers, interns, and student workers, and how to include born-digital material in your processing program. Attendees are encouraged to bring laptops, questions, and dragon stories to share with the group.

Limit: 20 attendees
Cost: $25
Location: Randall Library, UNCW
Time: 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
