Happening over the week of February 13-17, Love Data Week is a collection of workshops and networking opportunities focused on data access, analysis, discovery, management, sharing, and preservation sponsored by Cornell University Library and the Research Data Management Service Group in celebration of International Love Data Week.
The theme this year is Data: Agent of Change. Love Data Week is about inspiring your community to use data to bring about changes that matter. Policy change, environmental change, social change... we can move mountains with the right data guiding our decisions. This year, we are focused on helping new and seasoned data users find data training and other resources that can help move the needle on the issues they care about.

Douglass Day 2023, 12:00-3:00 (drop in any time), Olin Library 107 and Online
Douglass Day is an international event for creating and preserving Black history in honor of Frederick Douglass. This year, Cornell University Library will celebrate with a transcribe-a-thon of the records of Mary Ann Shadd Cary (1823-1893), one of the earliest Black women to edit a newspaper, serve as a Civil War recruiter, attend law school and more. Together, we will learn about Black abolitionist history and create textual data for the future. Cornell University Library staff will help you get started with transcription -- no previous experience is necessary! Snacks from Rashida Sawyer Bakery will be provided to in-person participants. Douglass Day is sponsored locally by the Digital CoLab at Olin Library in partnership with the John Henrik Clarke Africana Library. Contact digitalcolab@cornell.edu with questions.
