The Cincinnati Chapter of the Special Libraries Association announces our first workshop in a new "Data Skills" series. These affordable hands-on technical workshops will help Information professionals, archivists, librarians & others gain exposure to technologies in data manipulation, analysis & visualization. Build up your skills – stay relevant & competitive!
