ACENET: SQL for Humanities, Social Sciences, and Librarians
Many web applications, research project websites, and library & archival repositories store data in relational databases. A relational database can help you keep your data separate from your analysis, improve quality control of data entry, reduce duplication of data, and improve your ability to search across large and complex datasets. Structured Query Language, or SQL, is a powerful language used to search and manipulate relational databases.
ACENET: Using Spreadsheets for Humanities, Social Sciences, & Librarians
Good data organization is the foundation of any research project. Most researchers have data in spreadsheets, so it’s the starting place for many research projects. To use tools that make computation and analysis more efficient, such as programming languages like R or Python, we need to structure our data the way that computers need the data. This workshop aims to teach researchers, librarians, and information professionals basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data to get more done quickly and with less pain.
