Managing the digital chaos

Using digital technologies effectively has become a mainstream requirement for the modern scholar. But how do you manage a tsunami of file formats, storage systems, metadata standards – not to mention the latest digital tools and cloud services – when all you want to do is focusing on your research question? And all the more when you incorporate images in your research?

In the upcoming weeks, Researcher@Library workshop series will bring you three sessions to get you started with reviewing your strategies in managing your digital resources including files and images used in your research:

• File Management 101: tips to help you get organised and start managing your files and information properly – 11 April 2018.
• Digital Imaging 101: basics of image manipulation – 16 April 2018.
• Working with images – an overview: an overview of issues that may arise when working with images and other non-textual material – 17 April 2018.

Register for your spot before it runs out! Only for University of Melbourne graduate students, staff and early researchers.
