University of Massachusetts Medical Library (Lamar Soutter Library)

The libraries of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Worcester Polytechnic Institute will collaboratively develop and test an instructional framework and delivery system for openly accessible, online instructional modules on preserving, managing, and sharing digital data. The online courses will be delivered to students in science courses at both institutions, ranging from first-year science and engineering students, to graduate-level medical, nursing, and biomedical students. The primary goal of the project is to teach these essential skills early in the training of both science and medical professionals.
