Abstract:

In response to the COVID19 pandemic, Countway Library services moved online. In April, we started weekly webinars to engage Harvard community members with data management. Over three months, over 550 people tuned in for a live session! We decided to continue webinars during the summer, and the “Great Data Cleanup Campaign” was created to support the community to go back to the basics while continuing to work at home, or revamp their skills when returning to the lab. This presentation will explore how these weekly data management online sessions have benefited participants across the university (and even internationally) during the work at home environment.
