SUMMARY:Creating Small and Ugly Open Educational Resource (OER)
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in sharing your educational materials for students and instructors to use and learn from? This workshop will focus on taking the content you’ve already created and turning it into an open educational resource (OER)\, without a lot of time or effort. We’ll discuss strategies for publishing and sharing educational content such as lecture notes\, slide decks\, assessments\, or multimedia. We’ll find simple ways to openly share educational resources so that others can access\, share\, and adapt them. We’ll focus on expanding access to educational materials\, with one small\, ugly step at a time. \n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for instructors\, teaching assistants\, educational developers\, librarians\, and anyone interested in sharing educational materials more openly. No prior experience with OER creation or open licensing is required. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nExplain what is meant by “open educational resources”\n\n\n\nSelect an appropriate open license for a resource they might share\n\n\n\nIdentify online repositories where they might share an OER that they create\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program.

SUMMARY:Data Cleaning with OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Researchers and librarians often deal with “messy” data. This could include inconsistent interview transcripts\, poorly formatted longitudinal datasets\, or standardizing names for an authority file. Preparing this data for analysis is a critical step that requires the same level of rigor and reproducibility as the analysis itself. This workshop introduces OpenRefine\, a powerful\, free\, and open-source tool for cleaning\, normalizing\, and transforming research data. participants work with a sample dataset to learn how to efficiently handle common data issues\, such as automating data standardization\, identifying clusters of similar entries\, and transforming complex strings into structured information without the need for advanced programming. Unlike manual editing in Excel\, OpenRefine records every step of your process\, ensuring your data cleaning is transparent and fully reproducible. Participants should be comfortable using a computer and have a general understanding of spreadsheets. No prior programming experience is necessary.

SUMMARY:Simple Sabotage: A Field Manual for Refusing Corporate AI
DESCRIPTION:Simple Sabotage was a document written by the US Office of Strategic Services in 1944 to train everyday citizens to thwart the forces of fascism (a resource garnering renewed attention in this particular political moment). This quick fix workshop is a tongue-in-cheek update to train citizen-saboteurs to thwart the predetermined inevitability of corporate AI from micro to the macro: a history of GenAI\, opportunities for data liberation\, local LLMs\, resisting corporate software by switching to Linux\, everyday data privacy practices like turning of Connected Experiences in M365\, and more. We’ll explore tangible everyday practices to motivate the saboteur (you!) and provide them with specific suggestions for tools\, targets\, timing to resist and re-imagine AI futures. \n\n\n\nNo experience except your lived experience is necessary. While we aren’t all against all AI\, understanding how it works and making intentional decisions about how\, when\, and whose data is used is increasingly important. Join us to talk tactics! \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the history of GenAI and how it works\n\n\n\nIdentify potential sources for data liberation\n\n\n\nChoose alternative platforms or configure settings to protect your privacy\n\n\n\nPropose possible pathways to re-imagine AI futures.\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Danica Evering

SUMMARY:Powerful searching with Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:November 10th 2026 \n\n\n\nRegular expressions are a powerful and standardized way of representing patterns in text using special symbols and syntax. A core part of many programming languages\, search engines\, text editors\, and other commonly-used software\, regular expressions have a surprisingly wide array of uses\, from efficiently finding strings of text in large data sets\, to easily formatting complex documents\, to quickly replacing many small everyday tasks that might otherwise require writing shell scripts or other programs. \n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop introduces regular expressions (regex) from the ground up. After this workshop\, attendees will understand basic regular expression syntax; they will be able to apply regex syntax in common applications; they will understand when it might be appropriate to use regex; and they will be able to analyze their own workflows and adapt regex solutions to support them. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series.  \n\n\n\nPresenter(s):Kamal Abou Mikhael

SUMMARY:Ollama for OCR\, transcription and data extraction
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce the use of the Ollama application to extract text and structured data from images and sound recordings. It will cover installation and operation of Ollama\, and will provide worked examples which can be explored in real time. Ollama provides a chat interface for familiar chat interactions\, and also a network API which allows programmatic access to its service\, using scripts in various programming languages (the examples will use Python). Ollama is free and open source\, and can be installed on Windows\, Mac and Linux machines. \n\n\n\nIt uses free downloadable LLMs which are useful for a variety of tasks such as OCR\, speech transcription\, or even deriving structured data such as CSV or JSON. With a good GPU and the use of Python scripts it is possible to automate these tasks to handle large sets of page images. The quality depends on the size of the model\, which in turn depends on the hardware. The best results come when running on a machine with an NVIDIA GPU or a Mac with integrated memory; but even on a simpler system it can be used for private investigation of the capabilities of LLMs for various tasks. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will demonstrate three tasks: OCR of a handwritten text\, transcription of a voice recording\, and extraction of CSV data from a structured printed document. The examples will use the desktop application and Python scripts. It will familiarize you with the basic methods of applying LLMs to these research problems. The processes can be transferred to paid online AI services\, but for most research purposes\, output from a local LLM running on a reasonably capable workstation will be of equal quality. \n\n\n\nRegister here! \n\n\n\nInstructor: Peter Binkley is a librarian with the U of A Library\, where he offers workshops and consultations to support researchers with problems and methods of digital scholarship. He has worked in digitization\, digital librarianship and digital preservation since the early years of this century. His academic background is in textual studies in the Latin Middle Ages\, and he has a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies. His research is now mostly devoted to the 20th century history of pre-digital research technologies such as microfilm.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Markdown digital workflows
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 24th 2026 \n\n\n\nPlain text formats have received increasing attention fromscholars in recent years and have been described as among the best ways to store knowledge persistently. This workshop will introduce you to the benefits of using plain text files and simple markup formats to create flexible\, robust\, and future-proof workflows for digital scholarship\, research\, and knowlege. We will begin with a brief introduction to the Markdown text format andcreate a short sample document which with the use of a few simple tools that can be converted into a website\, dynamic slideshow presentation\, PDF\, and even a formatted PhD thesis. We will also cover how to migrate existing « closed » files like Word documents and PowerPoint presentations into more accessible plain text Markdown (or similar formats like Asciidoc)\, for archival\, collaboration\, version control\, and other purposes. Prerequisites:* A text editor (note: not a word processor!) that can save in plain text format. A good choice is VSCode  \n\n\n\nhttps://code.visualstudio.com/.Helpful\, but not required:* A GitHub.com or Gitlab.com account. We’ll demonstrate how to use GitHub Pages to host a static site. For a more complete introduction to creating static sites with Github Pages\, please see the Introduction to Jekyll (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/intro-jekyll/) workshop.* Some familiarity with working in a command line / Unix shell interface. Some of the tools we will introduce make use of the command-line\, but there are usually alternatives and this is not required. If you’d like to learn more about the command-line shell before you start\, please take a look at this workshop Introduction to the Unix Shell (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/intro-shell/).* Some familiarity with Git. If you’d like to learn more about Git and GitHub before going any further\, please see this workshop: Introduction to Git and Github (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/intro-git/). \n\n\n\nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series.  \n\n\n\nPresenter(s):Kamal Abou Mikhael

SUMMARY:Data Bites - Introduction to Manual Data De-identification
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Introduction to Manual Data De-identification \n\n\n\nThis practical workshop\, delivered by the UBC Library Research Data Management team\, is the second session in a four‑part series on de-identifying and preparing sensitive data for responsible research use and sharing. Building on the concepts introduced in the first session\, this hands‑on workshop focuses on applied manual techniques for de-identifying datasets containing sensitive information. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nApply core manual de-identification methods\, including anonymization\, pseudonymization\, aggregation\, masking\, generalization\, and local suppression\, to protect participant privacy.\n\n\n\nWork through a step-by-step de-identification workflow\, addressing direct identifiers\, dates\, geographic data\, and variables linkable to external sources.\n\n\n\nSelect the most appropriate de-identification method for each variable type based on sensitivity and analytical need.\n\n\n\nAssess the anonymity of a finalized dataset using measures such as k-anonymity to evaluate whether it is sufficiently de-identified for sharing.\n\n\n\n\nNote: This workshop provides a foundational introduction to manual data de-identification. Participants are encouraged to consult their institutional privacy\, legal\, or compliance experts for guidance on specific datasets. \n\n\n\nLocation: ONLINE\n\n\n\n(A Zoom link will be sent to registrants 3 hours before the event starts.) \n\n\n\nPresenter(s):Eugene Barsky\, Vanessa Choy
