Data Services Class Descriptions

Information, materials, and schedules for all currently offered Data Services classes.
An introduction to managing and publishing research projects using Jupyter Notebooks, as well as to the possibilities and best practices for sharing and publishing researching using executable papers.
Software: Computer workstations with Jupyter Notebook are available for in-person tutorials in Bobst 617. For remote tutorials, while some patrons decide to approach tutorials as a demonstration of the software, other patrons approach tutorials with a more “hands-on” approach and wish to interact with the software during the tutorial. If the latter is the case, we recommend referencing our supported software page for additional information on accessing the software prior to the tutorial.
Duration: 60 min
