Greetings from crisp Philadelphia. The Special Libraries Association (SLA) will be meeting in Cleveland, OH, in mid-June. The SLA Chemistry Division will be offering two pre-conference continuing education classes, focused on chemistry and chemical information and geared towards information professionals who are new to either the chemical sciences or chemical information. I've included the descriptions of the courses below, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. You do not need to be a member of SLA to take the classes (although it's cheaper if you are), and you do not need to register for the rest of the conference, either. For more registration information, please see https://connect.sla.org/ac2019/schedule/continuingeducation. Thanks! Judith --------- Friday, June 14, 2019, 12:00 - 4:00 PM: Chemical Information Sources, Requests, and Reference The course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the types of questions that chemical researchers ask and reference sources that can be used to answer them. It will provide an overview of the structure of the chemical literature, types of reference sources in the chemical sciences, unique access points for chemical information, and strategies for an effective search. Informal lectures, interspersed with hands-on reference questions, will compare and describe the major chemical information resources. The conversation and interaction between participants is one of the high-points of this course, which is appropriate for librarians and information professionals who are new to chemical information, as well as those with some experience in the area. Instructors: Judith N. Currano, Head, Chemistry Library, University of Pennsylvania; Dawn French, Senior Analyst - Knowledge Services, R&D Cristal USA, Inc. Saturday, June 15, 2019, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Chemistry for the Non-Chemist Librarian It is necessary that any information scientist with responsibilities for providing chemistry reference services understand the structure and language of chemistry. This course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the basic principles of the five major divisions of chemistry, chemical terminology and drawing, and other intellectual tools that chemists need to do their work, punctuated by real-life chemistry experiments that offer insight into the research process and acquisition of research data. (We recommend wearing casual clothing, as some of the experiments can get a little messy!) It will be composed of four basic sections: an introduction to chemistry as a science, strategies for effective communication with chemists, basic chemical concepts and research questions, and the ways in which chemists' research needs dictate their information needs.

Should be really interesting, and it's targeted to data librarian folks! - Jon ********************************* *Data Sharing Webinar ? Targeted to Librarians* On May 2nd , 2pm ET we are conducting a webinar for the librarian community to bring awareness of the incredible work from this project and specifically the Author Guidelines. You are welcome to attend and/or share. The webinar will be recorded and the link shared. Title: Data Sharing in the Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences Description: As the research ecosystem takes deliberate steps toward open and FAIR data, where FAIR stands for findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable, a multi-stakeholder community within the Earth, space, and environmental sciences are supporting these efforts with updated author guidelines for data and other digital objects. A broad range of journals are adopting and implementing these new guidelines helping to move data out of the supplemental information and into trusted repositories. In this webinar we will review the updated guidelines, the tools available to librarians and researchers, as well as the challenges still ahead with the necessary changes in culture to make open and FAIR data the regular routine for researchers. Information on the Enabling FAIR Data project in the Earth, space, and environmental sciences can be found here: https://copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/ Register here for the webinar: https://bit.ly/2v9HA63 [image: Screen Shot 2019-04-24 at 4.44.32 PM.png] -- Jonathan Petters Ph.D. Data Management Consultant and Curation Services Coordinator Data Services, University Libraries Virginia Tech (540) 232-8682 https://www.lib.vt.edu/research-learning/ResearchDataManagementAndCuration.html ORCID: 0000-0002-0853-5814 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
