I have been asked to do a library instruction session for an undergraduate<br>
business class covering the importance of creating a data dictionary. I<br>
don't have specifics of what the faculty wants yet. But, I would like<br>

I know that I mentioned the first one when someone asked about videos some time ago (last year? beginning of the semester) ... but somewhere there's a list of research data related videos. (I assume it was this mailing list, but it's possible it wasn't).<br>
