Today we relaunched The Carpentries’ main website and its Lesson Programs websites!

Updates to the sites have been in process for some time, and we are pleased to finally share the outcomes of all that work with you. We invite any feedback you may have as we continue to improve these websites.

Find out about the changes we made, and explore the new websites linked in this relaunch announcement: https://carpentries.org/blog/2024/11/the-carpentries-websites-relaunched/

Yesterday we announced that as part of our ongoing journey towards consolidating our resources and three lesson programs (Data Carpentry, Software Carpentry, and Library Carpentry) under one, unified, identity as The Carpentries, most of the content on the three lesson programs' websites will now be accessed from the main Carpentries website.

Nachdem ich letztes Jahr in den Vorstand des @vdbnordwest gewählt wurde, verabschiede ich mich dafür zum Ende unserer Amtszeit schweren Herzens von der Kommission für berufliche Qualifikation im VDB -- ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn sich engagierte Nachfolger*innen für das Team finden, die unsere vielfältigen Aktivitäten fortführen, insbesondere #librarycarpentry und das Mentoring. Die Ausschreibung findet ihr hier: https://www.vdb-online.org/2024/03/04/neuausschreibung-der-vdb-kommissionen-3/

Neues Video ist live! Entdecke die #UnixShell mit meinem interaktiven Screencast. Von der Installation bis zum Shell-Skript – alles dabei! Die #LibraryCarpentry Lesson online zum Mitmachen https://youtu.be/L3JRQC_tZ4E?si=lZlkHW9hkyUPVKzk

The Carpentries are looking for more Maintainers, who look after the lesson materials that are used in #SoftwareCarpentry, #DataCarpentry and #LibraryCarpentry workshops. I can tell from experience that it is rewarding. Join our community by signing up for Maintainer Onboarding:

Die VDB-Kommission für berufliche Qualifikation will Library Carpentry weiter unterstützen und plant, die Anregungen aus einem World-Café aufzunehmen und in die Praxis umzusetzen.

Ich habe letzte Woche das Carpentries Instructor Training mit einer Livecoding-Prüfung abgeschlossen und freue mich auf viele Library Carpentry Workshops in 2020! Mir gefällt die Kombination aus herzlicher Community und evidenzbasierter Didaktik sehr! Vielen Dank an @mebemar und den #vdb für den Call for Instructors ( https://www.vdb-online.org/2019/03/14/call-for-instructors-als-library-carpenter-skills-zum-praktischen-umgang-mit-daten-im-bibliotheksalltag-vermitteln/ ). Das Skript für das Instructor Training ist online https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/ ebenso wie die #librarycarpentry Kursmaterialien https://librarycarpentry.org/lessons/

I'm looking for tooling (#Bash #Python #OpenRefine etc.) that processes Excel-formatted exports from Web of Science or similar into #DSpace-compatible CSVs.

Processing steps include: Renaming & subsetting columns, renaming to match #DublinCore fields, harmonising author names, retrieving missing info via #DOI-APIs etc.

Would be a neat programming lessons, but I'm looking for tried-and-tested code for production.

Please boost! 1k thanks for any hints #Code4Lib #DataScience #LibraryCarpentry
