RECORDINGS OF WORKSHOPS:

We will record all our workshops for the remainder of the semester to enable those not able to attend the live version to instead watch the recorded version at their convenience. As the recordings become available, we will post them here:

https://research.library.gsu.edu/dataservices/data-certified#recorded-workshops

At the end of the recorded workshop, we will provide the check-in form link for attendance purposes. NOTE: These recordings will be removed Monday, April 20, at 8:00 am, to allow us to tally attendance for the Spring 2020 semester certificate awards.
