Data Management for Library Collections 101: Webinar (09/27/18)

Every wonder if you could automate more of your data cleanup? Wonder where to even get started? In this session, we will start with good data management practices and work through data prepartion and cleanup.

Along the way, we will explore three tools: MARCEdit, OpenRefine, and Exel. Although Excel and OpenRefine can be used for any data cleanup project, the focus on this session will be bibliographic data. Resources and exercises for post-class work will be provided. 

Audience: Catalogers, Technical Services, Systems, as well as any library staff interested in data management

Virtual Trainer: Robin Fay
