Taming Information Workshop - 10 July 2013

Where there is writing there is research information.

Generally, information is organised in very ad hoc ways. This can pose difficulties with storing, retrieving and reusing the data we have gathered.   Information becomes personal to us so we must look after it and, at the same time, free ourselves up from information overload.

This workshop is designed for postgraduate students and staff who feel they are drowning in information data. It will explore the personal habits and practices of researchers.   The hands-on session presents a step-by-step approach to organising and retrieving information and provides useful tips for managing personal data more effectively.

The workshop will be facilitated by Donna Salmon from the Library and Nina Pelling from Maia Maori Support Centre.

Venue: Main Library Training Room
Date:  Wednesday 10 July 2013
Time: 9.30- 12.00

Please register by Friday 28 June by emailing  infolit@unitec.ac.nz
