Digital Projects

Digital Projects is a three-part workshop series taught by UO Libraries Digital Scholarship Services. This workshop sequence is designed for anyone who is planning a project with a digital component. This could be anything from an experimental project with an electronic lab notebook or many electronic files to a digital humanities project or an archival research project with many photographs of your archival material.

Click on the tabs above or visit the Research Guide for this workshop sequence to find out more about the three workshops in the Digital Projects Workshop sequence:

  1. What are Open Digital Projects?
  2. Creating your Data Management Plan
  3. Using Open Science Framework to Manage your Project

You can attend any workshop in the series without attending all of them; however, if you skip ahead in the series we recommend reviewing the pre-requisites (listed under each tab) to make sure you are prepared. If you would like to schedule a version of this sequence for your lab, student group, or as part of a class, reach out to us at digitalscholarship@uoregon.edu.
