Hi everyone,

Please could you let me or Justin know if you are planning on attending the TNSBC?  We would be interested in having you help provide a report out during one of the subsequent monthly meetings to share your experience.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

… and plan to attend the 2nd Annual True North Science Boot Camp (TNSBC) for librarians to take place at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan), Kelowna, BC, Monday, May 25 to Wednesday, May 27.

Started in Massachusetts and spreading throughout the USA and now in Canada, science boot camps for librarians are immersive 2.5 day events featuring educational presentations delivered by scientists.

This year’s TNSBC will focus on Research Data Management in the Sciences:  how science researchers use data, create data, their needs for managing data, and how librarians can facilitate the creation and execution of research data management plans.  Designed to correspond to anticipated changes with Canada’s Tri-Council funding agencies as these changes relate to research data management, this year’s TNSBC will not only enlighten us from the researchers’ perspectives but will allow some professional discussion about the issue of research data management in the sciences.

Who’s this for?  Librarians involved in supporting research in the sciences or technology although anybody with an interest in science research is welcome.

What’s the cost?  CDN$325 includes the camp plus 2 nights (dorm) accommodations with breakfast, lunch, breaks, and our official Boot Camp Dinner; CDN$225 for commuters includes the camp plus lunch, breaks, and our official Boot Camp dinner.

NOTE:  The block booking for accommodations closes April 9.  After April 9, availability of accommodations cannot be guaranteed.

Optional (additional) Cost Items:  additional accommodation requirements, parking, Boat Cruise, Wine Tour.

When will registration open?   IT IS OPEN<https://truenorthbootcamp.sites.olt.ubc.ca/registration/>.  Please note that space is limited.
