| Karl Benedict || Introduction to distributed version control with Git and Github || Have you ever wished you could go back in time? Needed to share a snapshot of your work with someone while continuing to make changes? If your answer is yes to these questions you might want to consider adding version control to your life. This workshop will provide an introduction to the Git version control system and GitHub as a platform for sharing your version-controlled work (even with just yourself). | | Karl Benedict || Introduction to distributed version control with Git and Github || Have you ever wished you could go back in time?

| 1:30 || Wade Bishop || Data Curation Profiles—An Information Science framework for data managers || This presentation explains Data Curation Profiles (DCP) and provides examples of how to use for digital biocollections. Ten biocollection producers, curating various types of specimens affiliated with the project building the United States’ national biodiversity infrastructure, were interviewed using the DCP questionnaire. Results indicate there is extreme diversity in the curation of biocollections and additional DCP questions should be added to reflect the complicated approaches to biological data curation. Although discipline specific metadata creation tools, standards, and practices enable long-term sustainability of the U.S. digitization effort, some scientists would benefit from further clarification and guidance on the information needs of consumers beyond designated communities of expert users, and the long-term preservation of biocollections. | |||
