Bits and Bytes: Canadian Census Discovery Portal
This talk introduces the Canadian Census Discovery Portal project, an initiative that aims to inventory all census data released in what is now Canada (from the first census in 1665 New France to the present day), and make the inventory available through an open, bilingual, searchable portal. The project will bring together existing census data, some of which is "hidden" to many Canadians, and make it more accessible, usable, and ensure its availability for the long term. This talk is being held on this date in celebration of Endangered Data Week, an event which aims to foster an environment of data consciousness and promote care for endangered collections. A link to join the event online will be sent to registrants.…

Introduction to the Unix Shell
The Unix shell is a powerful tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. You can combine existing programs in different ways and automate repetitive tasks so you don’t need to type things over and over again. This workshop will go over the basics of the Unix shell, starting with working with files and directories, using pipes and filters, and a little bit of shell scripting. (This session is part of the UTM Library 501 program, but all UofT affiliated persons are welcome to attend).
R&I Dashboards and Cube Training -September 25 CANCELLED
Join us at this hands-on training of the new Research & Innovation Dashboards (https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/sites/ResearchInnovationDashboards), including our new research cube! Bring your questions and real-life scenarios - we'll put our new tools to the test!
Citation Management & RefWorks for Engineers (and everyone else too!)
In this workshop we talk about what citation management software does and get some tips on where to find information to select a citation manager that would works for you. We will then use RefWorks to do a brief demo on how to use citation management software. Participants can follow, create their own RefWorks account, download citations and learn how to create in-text citations and a bibliography in Word. The demo will mostly focus on downloading citations from engineering databases, but non-engineering databases are similar so all disciplines are welcome to attend this workshop. This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link in your email two hours before the start of the workshop. You will…
