SUMMARY:Establishing and Maintaining Researcher Profiles
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 21 2025 \n\n\n\nThe ability to effectively track and express your research impact is an essential skill for today’s researchers. Profile tools like ORCID\, Google Scholar\, and McMaster Experts provide a valuable space to showcase your research outputs (from publications to datasets to creative works) and enable efficient workflows for demonstrating your impact. This workshop will guide researchers through the process of creating and maintaining researcher profiles — from initial setup to streamlined upkeep and generating basic impact reports. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nSelect the most appropriate research profile(s) for their needs.\n\n\n\nAutomate the initial population and maintenance of their research profile(s).\n\n\n\nGenerate basic research impact reports using profile data.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for researchers and graduate students interested in establishing an online presence and tracking the impact of their work. \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\nFacilitator Bio:  \n\n\n\nJack Young (he/him) is McMaster’s Research Impact Librarian\, supporting the use of bibliometric data to enhance the reporting and strategic planning practices of the University’s academic departments\, institutes\, and researchers. \n\n\n\nSabrina Kirby (she/her) is the Research Technology Analyst for the McMaster Experts service\, providing support to researchers and research administrations working with their Experts profiles and the varous systems and integrations that comprise McMaster Experts. \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program. For more information\, visit scds.ca/certificate-program. It is also eligible for the Canadian Certificate for Digital Humanities. To learn more\, visit ccdhhn.ca or contact scds@mcmaster.ca. \n\n\n\nCredit Eligibility: This workshop counts toward credit for students in the Faculty of Science who are enrolled in SCIENCE 2SF1: Digital Skills Workshop. For any questions\, please contact oursci@mcmaster.ca.

SUMMARY:Using AI Tools for Research Part I: Introduction to Generative AI Tools
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 21 2025 \n\n\n\nPresenter: Sophie Bury\, Ted Belke \n\n\n\nAre you exploring and building your knowledge of generative AI tools? Are you interested in using them for research purposes? Do you find it confusing to determine when AI-based tools are useful and appropriate for conducting research for assignments and projects for courses? In this workshop\, designed to introduce effective use of mainstream AI tools like ChatGPT\, we will address these questions with demonstrations and hands-on practice. We will explain what generative AI is and how it works\, focusing on free tools available to all York community members. The workshop will cover designing effective prompts\, then move on to potential applications for student research\, such as idea generation\, information discovery\, focusing a research topic or developing a search strategy . Finally\, we will discuss the strengths and limitations of these tools for research\, include some pointers on ethical and academic integrity considerations that apply at York University and provide strategies that can assist with verifying the quality and reliability of outputs generated. For a workshop that delves deeper into how to cite AI tools\, and the ethical and academic integrity considerations associated with them\, check out our sister workshop titled “Navigating Academic Integrity: Citing and Ethnical Considerations in the Age of ChatGPT”.

SUMMARY:Learning to Love the Jaggies: Designing Bitmapped Fonts
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 21 2025 \n\n\n\n Instructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nEarly digital type designers were challenged by having a limited grid of pixels to create their letterforms for computers\, handheld devices\, video and arcade games. These blocky fonts were one of the distinguishing features of the 70s through the 90s and are mostly used today for a retro look. \n\n\n\nJoin Reg as he tours the variety and ingenuity of these early types. He’ll concentrate on two designers: Susan Kare\, who created Chicago (which became a defining font for the look of the Macintosh computer); and Zuzana Licko who co-founded Emigre Fonts in 1985 and designed a number of widely-used pixel fonts. He’ll also look at how these designers were inspired by letterforms on textiles.  \n\n\n\nReg will then demonstrate the process of making your own bitmapped font with BitFontMaker2. \n\n\n\nFor those of you that would like a more hands-on experience of the tool there will be a two hour workshop on Friday October 24 (see the following listing to register.)
