This interactive lunchtime workshop will help you level up your research skills and how you organize your research. We will cover research search strategies using economics-focused research tools and how to use Zotero to collect and organize resources and to automatically format citations for your project. Zotero is a tool to help you organize your research, especially your literature review materials.

Please bring a laptop and make sure you have Zotero installed and running on your laptop before the workshop. 

Do you store all your files in one big folder? Have you ever accidentally saved over important work? Learn file management best practices and solutions in this interactive workshop. Participants will get a short crash-course in using Git, a free and open-source version control system, to track file versions and code.

Please bring a laptop.

Lunch will be provided.

Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass a leader in the American 19th century abolitionist movement. Join us in person on Friday, February 13, 2026 for a transcribe-a-thon to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. This year we will transcribe content from the Colored Conventions Project, improving search, access, and discovery of these pages from history.

If you need to transcribe handwritten documents such as letters or manuscripts so you can search, analyze, or publish them, we can help get you started. This workshop will provide an introduction to handwriting text recognition (HTR) and hands-on training to get started with your research. You are welcome to bring any documents you are working with, but it is not required.

You will need a laptop.

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This one-day workshop will focus on Plotting and Programming with Python. We will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

When you are getting ready to share your research data, you may have questions about how you can control access to your data. Maybe you have sensitive data that can’t be shared broadly, or maybe you just want credit for the data’s use. This workshop is for anyone who has questions about how they can protect themselves or their subjects when sharing research data. We will be covering:
