No previous experience or expertise is required. All skill levels are welcome to help with a variety of tasks, including but not limited to:
-browsing federal websites to identify at-risk datasets
-downloading data via manual or automated mechanisms
-consolidating, uploading, and describing data
The event will be held in person in the Forum Room on the second floor of University Library and online via Zoom. Bring a laptop if you are attending in person.
