Greetings, This summer the experts from the University of Lethbridge Library will host a 3-part series on Research Data Management. These workshops will be hybrid allowing attendees to participate in person or remotely. These are open to both faculty and students so feel free to send this inviation to anyone who may be interested. You can attend one, two, or all three of these events. 1. Research Data Management: An Introduction to RDM
Date: June 11, 2025 Time: 11:00-12:00 Location: AH100 Join librarians as they introduce researchers to the information, tools, and resources that will prepare them for the emerging RDM landscape in Canada. The release of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy places new demands on researchers around the planning and use of research data. Many funding agencies now require a data management plan as part of their grant application. Researchers will learn what a data management plan is, the considerations when creating one, and how to incorporate research data management in their grant applications.

Research Data Management: An Introduction to Borealis and Data Depositing
Date: July 9, 2025 Time 11:00-12:00 Location: SA9008 In the second part of our RDM series, librarians will introduce researchers to safe and secure methods of data depositing. This session will cover a number of repository options, and give a more in depth introduction on how to use Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository. Researchers will learn what “open data” means in the Canadian funding context and how to apply those principles to their data management plans.

Librarians will provide an overview of Open Access (OA) publishing, including types of OA policies and resources for evaluating publishers and journals. The workshop will also cover costs, resources, guidelines, and tips highlighting the essentials of publishing your work, with a focus on OA publication – to meet grant requirements, boost your citations, promote your research, and more equitably share information.
