Spring Semester Events & Workshops

The Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) at the Main Library has a great line up of events for Spring Semester, including drop-in sessions, workshops, events, and a conference. We're thrilled to be participating in Love Data Week and Douglass Day this year and to be partnering with MSU's Institute for Cyber-enabled research to offer a Software Carpentry workshop.

Some events are being delivered by DSL staff and other are hosted in partnership with other folks on campus. Most of these events appear in the MSU Libraries calendar, but we also wanted to provide a list to quickly scan. Some events require registration. Please click on the title for details.
