T09 - From Citizen Science to Personal Benefit: Data Management for Everyone

jeudi 20 avril 2017 à 11:00–12:15 PDT
Salon F
Session Description

Generously Sponsored By: Simon Fraser University Library

Open data. Citizen science. Data management. Data security. Last summer’s vacation photos. What do these have in common?
If you answered some flavour of long term preservation or access—you’re right and you don’t need to attend this session. If you answered “huh?”, “Say, what?”, or “I don’t know, tell me more!”, then read on!
Our presenters will discuss data security, cloud storage, how to back up your data (aka "stuff"), publishing/depositing data, and crowd sourcing using open data.
