During the last week of February, the Washington University Libraries are hosting a series of six workshops that explore visual collections, data literacy, data management, and data sharing. The workshops will also offer in-depth support on tools such as Zotero and will provide guidance on how to access our e-journal and online newspaper subscriptions.
