Library Carpentry

Professional workshops, Library of Congress (and other locations), 2020

Library Carpentry, a mode of instruction designed on the principles of participation and live coding developed by The Carpentries, presents an active curriculum for librarians to expand their digital skills. I first got involved with this professional workshop approach at the Library of Congress in 2018, and I have since taught workshops in-person and online, for learners at the Smithsonian, American University, Clemson University, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Here are the workshop programs and topics:

• 2021 workshop at U.S. Geological Survey
• 2020 workshop at Clemson University
• 2020 workshop at American University
• 2019 workshop at the Library of Congress
• 2018 workshop at the Library of Congress (instructor in training)
