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. 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.
