Hello, We just increased the number of seats available for one of our very popular courses - Python for Librarians. Registration closes April 8th at midnight. Additional information below. Python for Librarians <https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/270-python-for-librarians/?attribute_pa_session=2022-04-apr> $200.00 Instructor: Tim Ribaric Dates: April 4 - May 1 Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs We often are told ‘learn to code’ but not given a clear purpose or direction to realize this goal. This is especially true for workers in the Library field. This course will attempt to address this challenge by providing a great introduction to data science aimed at all learners. Participants will be introduced to the Python programming language and how it can be used to analyize data. This includes organizing and writing code in Jupyter Notebooks, manipulating data with the Pandas, visualizing data with the Matplotlib, and making predictions with data using the scikit-learn library. No previous programming experience is required or expected. Exercises will be drawn from topics that resonate with the daily work of Librarians and those in related fields. For example, participants will learn how to analyze a quantity of Sci Hub usage data, and will examine DOI data harvested from the Crossref API. No software installation will be required to participate in this class; all programming work will be done using the online Google Colab environment. -- Ariana Varela (she/her) Marketing Coordinator Library Juice Academy PO Box 188784 Sacramento, CA 95818-8784
