This workshop will explore the benefits of incorporating existing open data into your research. We will pay particular attention to finding, evaluating and uploading open data. We will also discuss how the library can support you to ingest, transform and analyze open data, as well as some of the other supports available to researchers at the library.

By the end of this session, you will be able to recognize the benefits of using and creating open data, outline general methods used to find open data, summarize the main types of open data licenses, and describe how the library can support you to find, evaluate, transform and analyze open data.
