When someone says “government data,” the agency that comes first to many minds is the Census Bureau. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a prolific collector and disseminator of data too, offering a wealth of information and insight into employment and the economy in the U.S. Come to this workshop to learn how to gather data about employment, unemployment, pay and benefits, consumer expenditures, time use, and more using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ online tools.

This workshop will help participants understand the open access movement in academic publishing. Attendees will learn what open access journals are and why they matter. Participants will learn the various ways they can participate in making their research openly available. They will also understand the difference between open access publications and predatory publishers and learn how to identify each.

Join us on Wednesday, October 27 at 7:00 pm via Zoom for this panel discussion about some scary happenings and hauntings in Muncie and Delaware County history. Eerie Muncie 2020 was so popular that we dug up some more tales from the dark side, and this Zoom program will feature historic photographs, maps, newspaper articles, and all things scary, strange, and Spooktacular! Staff from Ball State University Libraries, the Delaware County Historical Society, Minnetrista, and Muncie Public Library will fascinate and frighten! Register for the event to receive a confirmation email with a link to the horror show!

This webinar will highlight 5 resources for middle and high school teachers to find free educational materials for use in the classroom, and provide tips to help teachers evaluate educational materials found online before including them in lesson plans.

In the final workshop of the series, we will discuss the field of digital scholarship publication. Attendees will be introduced to Ball State’s resources for hosting and supporting digital scholarship, examples of digital scholarship publishing from select publishers, and a walkthrough of the digital publishing platform Scalar. Finally, we will discuss longevity and legacy projects within digital scholarship and how best to manage projects with on-going publishing.
