Spring Semester 2025 Events & Workshops

The Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) is excited to present a dynamic lineup of events for Spring Semester 2025. We're offering workshops on podcasting, ThingLink's Scenario Builder tool, Omeka, Tableau, and more.
We're delighted to again be participating in two simultaneous national events: Love Data Week and Douglass Day. We're continuing our partnership with the Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research and Digital Humanities at MSU to offer a Software Carpentry workshop, this time focusing on R. And we're delighted to help celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Global DH Symposium.
Events are all listed on the MSU Libraries calendar. Below, you’ll find a quick overview of our upcoming activities during Spring. Some events require registration—click on the titles for more details.
