Join the CARLI Created Content Committee at the I Hotel in Champaign for a workshop which introduces OpenRefine (https://openrefine.org/), a free, open source tool used to organize, clean up, and transform your data. Presenters Tricia Lampron from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Greer Martin, from Loyola University Chicago, will provide an overview of this browser based application, as well as use cases that show the benefits of working with your data in OpenRefine. The first half of this workshop will demonstrate the basic functions to get you started on cleaning up your data, while activities in the second half include reconciling data against two different types of sources, library authority data and Wikidata. The workshop will also teach how to import data by making an API call in OpenRefine, and how to export your data in a different formats such as XML and JSON.

Lunch will be provided.

This workshop is intended for all CARLI members, but may be of special interest to those who work with spreadsheets, data, metadata, authorities, controlled vocabularies, and open data.

While the workshop will not be completely hands-on, participants are highly encouraged to bring their own laptops so they can work with their own dataset or some provided metadata during the workshop. Wifi and power strips will be available.

Registration will be available in late August. This workshop was rescheduled from its original April 30 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who were already registered for the April 28 date will have the first opportunity to register for this workshop.

In 2020, the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois will celebrate 40 years of resource sharing through CARLI and its predecessor organizations. This event will commemorate and celebrate this important anniversary. 

Everyone has a story. Tell us yours!! 

In recognition of this important anniversary, we invite you to share your stories, photos, videos, anything! Share with us your reflections about CARLI, ILCSO, CCMP, IDAL, the staff, the meetings, consortium membership, resource sharing, etc. Ask your faculty, staff, and students to share as well. Tell us about a moment, a day, an event, person, or place that made a difference to you or the people you know. We look forward to hearing what CARLI means to you!

In addition to our celebration, we are kicking off the new CARLI Scholarship campaign. The scholarship will assist CARLI libraries’ staff members who are pursuing their MS in Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s iSchool. This event will promote the scholarship and our fundraising efforts.
