Library Carpentry focuses on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities. Their hands-on, approachable workshops empower people in a variety of roles to use software and data in their own work and support effective, efficient, reproducible practices. Learn more about Library Carpentry on their website.

The Library Carpentry workshop is broken into the following lessons: Intro to Data, Unix Shell, Git, and/or OpenRefine. You can learn more about the lessons on their website.

The Library Carpentry workshops are open to all, and the training will focus on skills for library workers. We encourage anyone interested in Library Carpentry skills to register; no prior knowledge is needed. We will prioritize registration from Region 3 states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas); however, if we are not able to fill all 25 spots with Region 3 participants, we will be accepting non-Region 3 registrants on a first come first serve basis.
