Data File Inventory: Bringing Order to Chaos in Your Data Folders

Community, Workshops

Even the most organized researchers often struggle to keep track of everything in their data folders. The challenge is compounded with each new project, data source, storage location, and team member. This workshop will begin by guiding you through strategies for taking inventory of your data files, with practical advice on creating and maintaining centralized inventory records you can use to navigate through multiple locations, trace dependencies, assign responsibilities, track progress, and monitor backup routines. We will then have time in the second half of the workshop for lab-style interactive problem-solving, based on the specific needs of the participants. If you come prepared with your laptop and questions, our experts can offer you direct assistance during the session.

Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination at Princeton University: Princeton University believes that commitment to principles of fairness and respect for all is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, and the University seeks to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the ablest individuals as students, faculty, and staff. In applying this policy, the University is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as political views, religion, national or ethnic origin, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, marital or domestic partnership status, veteran status, disability, genetic information and/or other characteristics protected by applicable law in any phase of its education or employment programs or activities. In addition, pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and supporting regulations, Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education programs or activities that it operates; this extends to admission and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its supporting regulations may be directed to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education or to the University's Sexual Misconduct/Title IX Coordinator.
