CAS DMIT end-of-course workshop / 5 June 2021
To mark the end of our first CAS course in Data Management and Information Technologies for scientific librarians, we held a workshop which was opened up to the public for the afternoon.
The main topics covered included data science, digital humanities and research infrastructures. Fascinating discussions and knowledge transfer within the specialist community rounded off the first CAS DMIT.

Robert Jäschke (Humboldt University Berlin): Exploiting your own valuable data – data science and libraries

“Digitally packaged information” conference / 22 & 23 September 2020
The work of a library involves providing information services against the backdrop of new technologies and an increasing abundance of information. The digital transformation is giving rise to new tasks and areas of activity for academic libraries.
We launched into the topic with our interdisciplinary conference on “Digitally packaged information”, with contributions from academic libraries, information science, computer linguistics and the digital humanities. Attendees and speakers discussed the new perspectives opened up by the digital transformation for libraries working with researchers.
Owing to the coronavirus situation, this was a purely virtual event.
Despite the limitations of the virtual format, it proved to be a fascinating conference and a great opportunity to share knowledge and experiences within the community.
