EVENT – Dec 2, 2019 – Continuing Education Event Schedule and Registration

by | 17 November 2019

Here are the details about the upcoming continuing education webinar that is happening on December 2, 2019 from 9 – 3 pm PST. The event is broadly covering authorship and publishing for Health Librarians. We have chosen to host the event as a webinar so members who are outside of the Vancouver/Lower Mainland region have the opportunity to a continuing education event. What is also exciting about having the event as a webinar is the ability to invite health librarians and researchers from across Canada to speak, which is why we are able to have such an extensive breadth of speakers.

If you are in the lower mainland area and don’t have a good office space to attend or don’t want to deal with the technology you are welcome to join from a teleconferencing room at Children’s and Women’s Hospital. Email Colleen for room details and directions.

If you’re interested in attending, here is a link for registration: https://forms.gle/WQRECDcUSChaujYU7

EVENT & MEETING —  May 30th 9am-1pm – HLABC Open Science Framework Workshop + AGM

by | 16 May 2019

Please join us for a hands-on Open Science Framework workshop and the HLABC Annual General Meeting on Thursday May 30th @ Woodward Library’s Sherrington Room 9:00am-1pm.

Sarah Parker, Engineering Librarian (including Biomedical Engineering) at Woodward Library and also a member of the UBC Open Scholarship Committee , will offer a workshop on using the Open Science Framework (OSF). The OSF is an open source, simple to use, web application that supports the research workflow. It integrates existing tools and technologies, linking to multiple platforms, including Google Drive, Dataverse, GitHub, and Mendeley. It also supports pre-registration and pre-print portals.

In this workshop, we will address some of the aspects that characterize Open Science and how tools like the OSF can help mitigate issues of openness, transparency, and reproducibility in research. Some possible applications for our work include using OSF for protocols and to make our own work more open.
