Lunch with the USD Librarians

Please join us on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, for a USD-SF Faculty Lunch with Librarians to be held in room 107 of the Science and Technology building.

RSVP by Friday, October 18th, 2024, to ensure a freely provided lunch (taco bar)!

Dr. Anna Simonson from the University Libraries’ Digital Scholarship & Research Services (DSRS) will be sharing information on two exciting new developments. First, beginning this fall, DSRS is offering data science workshops on R, Python, and data visualization with Power BI, and those who attend all three workshops can earn a Data Ready! digital badge. Workshops are open to all faculty, staff, and students, and more information can be found here. Second, DSRS is promoting the NIH database All of Us, which has health-related data from over 800,000 individuals living in the United States and is IRB approved. This is a diverse dataset with information from a variety of sources (surveys, electronic health records, etc.) that would be applicable to a wide variety of departments. USD has the highest level of access to this database (Controlled Tier), and Dr. Simonson will explain how you and your students can become registered users and take advantage of this vast resource. More information about All of Us can be found here.

Time afterwords is also planned to meet and visit with the Dean of Libraries and some University Libraries librarians.
