Upcoming Events

In this workshop, we will look at how to use library resources, AI tools, and citation managers in a graduate study workflow.

Learn about resources provided by the UGA Libraries and the Digital Library of Georgia for accessing newspapers and news resources — including current and historical, U.S. and international, and both general news sources along with specialized publications such as African-American newspapers — through online databases, digital archives, and microfilm collections.

The UGA Libraries and the Russell Scholars are hosting a debate on the impact of AI on students. Featuring the Georgia Debate Union, the affirmative/pro side of the debate will be AI tools encourage intellectual passivity rather than intellectual empowerment in undergraduate students.

Where: Special Collections Library Auditorium (271)  

When: Tuesday, April 7, 6 - 7pm  

Snacks & Beverages provided

Join members of the Research and Computational Data Management (RCDM) team for walk-in research data consultations in the Data Studio @ Main and the McBay Science Library on Wednesdays from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.

Team members are available to assist UGA faculty, students, and staff with topics including:

Learn the ins and outs of downloading and using the EndNote citation manager.

On Tuesday, April 14th at 6pm, join the Hargrett Library and Walter J. Brown Media Archives for a free screening of Mize, a documentary by Hal Jacobs that goes behind the scenes to see what North Georgia author Jerry Grillo discovered about Baseball Hall-of-Famer Johnny Mize. 

Following the screening will be a discussion with Jacobs, as well as a reception with light refreshments. 

Free parking can be found in the Hull Street Deck after 5pm. 

Description:

Ready to take your Python skills into statistical analysis, but not quite sure where to begin? This introductory workshop shows you how to use Python to run standard statistical procedures, from loading and preparing your data to executing tests with widely used libraries. We focus on the coding steps involved in performing analyses - such as descriptive statistics, correlations, and linear regression - not on interpreting results or the underlying statistical theory. You don't need any prior experience with Python-based statistics. This session provides the practical foundation you need to start conducting statistical analyses in Python with confidence.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to move beyond citation counts and will be shown how Web of Science, InCites, and OpenAlex can be used to understand patterns in research activity and impact. Participants will learn how to identify prolific authors, institutions, journals, funders, and more from a search set in Web of Science and explore benchmarking metrics available in InCites and OpenAlex.
