SUMMARY:Introduction to the Unix Shell
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce the Unix shell\, a powerful way to communicate with your computer more directly through a command line interface. There are many ways to interact with a computer. Most of the time we click on things and select options with a cursor through a graphical user interface (GUI). A command line is exactly what it sounds like\, a way of writing commands to your computer line by line and is incredibly powerful. In this workshop we will show you how to navigate through different parts of your system and introduce some of the most useful commands to be aware of. \n\n\n\nNo previous experience with the command line is required. This workshop is for beginners. \n\n\n\nPre-workshop setup \n\n\n\nPlease have a laptop ready for this workshop. We will be using the Unix shell for most of the workshop. If you have a Mac or a Linux laptop you don’t need to install or enable anything. If you are using a Windows 10 PC you will need to turn on the “Windows Subsystem for Linux” setting as per these instructions.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series.

SUMMARY:Telling Spatial Stories with your Data
DESCRIPTION:This introductory workshop is targeted toward scholars\, practitioners\, and researchers who are interested in finding ways to represent their data and research materials spatially. Rather than focusing on a single software or technical workflow\, participants will be introduced to a variety of methods\, tools\, and platforms to create maps or spatial representations. Participants will also be walked through key questions to manage research projects\, and learn how to evaluate tools and workflows for their applicability to their projects. \n\n\n\nThink of this workshop as a wayfinding tutorial for navigating what questions to ask yourself at the beginning of a project comprising spatial data. By the end of this workshop series\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDesign a project to tell a spatial story with your data\n\n\n\nIdentify suitable methods/tools/platforms of spatial visualization to best represent research idea\n\n\n\nInventory and assemble the necessary resources to begin\n\n\n\n\nThough there will be an example project\, participants are invited to bring their own projects/datasets to work through together. \n\n\n\nNot sure if this workshop is for you? Non-geospatial experts are welcome\, especially those interested in spatial approaches to humanities research and data. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods. \n\n\n\nWorkshop link: https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-spatial-stories/ \n\n\n\nInstructor: Lily Crandall-Oral

SUMMARY:Tracking the Impact of Non-Traditional Research Outputs
DESCRIPTION:Date: January 21 2026 \n\n\n\nFrom datasets and code to podcasts\, reports\, and performances\, not all research outputs take the form of journal articles or books. These are known as Non-Traditional Research Outputs (NTROs)—scholarly or creative works that fall outside conventional academic publishing. While NTROs make up a significant and growing part of research activity\, they are often under-recognized in systems that track and assess research impact. In this webinar\, participants will explore current best practices for tracking and expressing the impact of NTROs and learn how these practices align with movements\, like the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)\, advocating for more responsible research assessment. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nCreate persistent identifiers (e.g. DOIs) and metadata records for NTROs.\n\n\n\nIncorporate NTROs into existing researcher profile systems (e.g. ORCiD; McMaster Experts).\n\n\n\nCommunicate the value of NTROs to responsible research assessment practices.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for researchers\, creators\, and academic staff working with non-traditional outputs who want to make their work more visible\, trackable\, and valued. \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: Jack 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\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.

SUMMARY:GitHub for Word Geeks Intro
DESCRIPTION:Reg Beatty and Alex Pospisil \n\n\n\nGitHub is a platform designed to help software developers manage large collaborative projects. Essentially\, it is a repository for different files\, but it has a unique way of documenting the history of a project including any commentary\, debate\, and edits to those files. It also features the ability to create ‘branches’ where experiments and alternate paths can be explored. But despite its rather technical origins it can easily be appropriated for a variety of projects. \n\n\n\nJoin Reg and Alex as they explain GitHub’s whys and wherefores and how they are using it to work on collaborative and creative writing. \n\n\n\nThere will also be a 2-hour Hybrid Workshop on Friday January 30 (see the next listing) for those who would like a hands-on experience.

SUMMARY:Rethinking “Good” Data: Power\, Vulnerability\, and Queer Data Care
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 9 2026 \n\n\n\nData is never truly neutral. It is imagined\, created\, managed\, and archived through the perspectives\, values\, and lived experiences of those who produce it. This workshop introduces queer data care\, a feminist framework that challenges conventional understandings of “good” or “gold standard” research (Compton\, 2018) and invites more ethical\, accountable\, and justice-oriented approaches to working with data. Together\, we will explore how data practices are shaped by\, and can reinforce\, existing power structures. We will then examine alternative strategies for collecting\, maintaining\, and sharing data that center care\, collaboration\, and community. \n\n\n\nGuided by questions such as: How is data maintained? Who controls access? Who is most at-risk during data collection? And how can we collect data that more effectively serves marginalized communities while remaining attentive to the ways data collection can also heighten their vulnerability? —this workshop will guide participants through a reflection on and reimagining of data practices through case studies. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nAnalyze how social\, political\, and disciplinary contexts might shape data practices\n\n\n\nIdentify how data practices can reinforce or resist structural power dynamics\, particularly in relation to marginalized communities.\n\n\n\nDevelop ethical\, accountable\, and community-centered approaches to data collection\, maintenance\, and access.\n\n\n\nApply these methods and principles to your own research projects\, and/or case studies.\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is for anyone interested in thinking differently about data\, such as graduate students\, librarians\, community researchers\, data professionals\, and others engaged in research\, advocacy\, or knowledge production. No formal experience with data is required. We all generate and interact with data in our everyday lives! \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\nAlexis-Carlota Cochrane (she/they) is the Digital Scholarship Coordinator at the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship. In her role\, she connects students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members to resources\, tools\, and training that advance their digital research projects. Alexis is also PhD Candidate in the Department of Communication Studies and Media Arts at McMaster University. Her research interests include critical data studies\, platform studies\, data feminism\, online harms\, data justice\, and digital humanities. \n\n\n\nDanica Evering holds broad experience with research support\, education\, project management\, advocacy\, and knowledge translation; with fluency in social practice art\, healthcare\, community research\, data\, and systems development. Danica supports students\, postdocs\, faculty\, and staff with RDM through the data lifecycle—Data Management Plans\, storage and backup\, data security\, data sharing. With an MA in Media Studies from Concordia\, they are interested in fostering RDM within curious scholars and disciplines. \n\n\n\nSubhanya Sivajothy (she/her) brings a background of research in data justice\, science and technology studies\, and environmental humanities.
