Started in Massachusetts and spreading throughout the USA and now in

*This year’s TNSBC will focus on Research Data Management in the
Sciences:  *how science researchers use data, create data, their needs for
managing data, and how librarians can facilitate the creation and execution
of research data management plans.  Designed to correspond to anticipated
changes with Canada’s Tri-Council funding agencies as these changes relate
to research data management, this year’s TNSBC will not only enlighten us
from the researchers’ perspectives but will allow some professional
discussion about the issue of research data management in the sciences.

sciences or technology although anybody with an interest in science
research is welcome.


*What’s the cost?*  *CDN$325* includes the camp plus 2 nights (dorm)
