We will cover a brief history of R, how R can be used by LIS professionals and the LIS community, basic visualization tools and techniques, tools and resources for teaching yourself R, and additional packages that you may find useful. Feel free to bring your own computer, however if you are planning on doing this know that you will need to download both R and R studio on your laptop (these are both applications that are available on the P213 Tech Lab computers).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"_2cuy _509y _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">Wednesday, March 21:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"_2cuy _50a1 _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxr\">A\/V Materials and Software at the Tech Lab and Media Lab<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxp\">Brought to you by SLIS Tech Lab<\/span> <span class=\"_4yxo\">4pm-5pm, SLIS Tech Lab<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"_5a_q _5yj1\">\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Come learn what cameras, microphones, and other fun toys are available from the Tech Lab and Media Lab in this demo of A\/V technology that you can borrow and use!

Come to our Hackathon 101 Workshop, and find out everything you need to know to attend your first hackathon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"_2cuy _509y _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">Thursday, March 22:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"_2cuy _50a1 _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxr\">Open Zine Workshop<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxp\">Brought to you by Beatley Library and <\/span> <span class=\"_4yxp\">LISSA (Library and Information Science Student Association) <\/span> <span class=\"_4yxo\">1pm-3pm, Beatley Library<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"_5a_q _5yj1\">\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Enjoy a study break by making and reading Zines with fellow Simmons Students in the library!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"_2cuy _50a1 _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxr\">Track Ch-Ch-Changes: Mastering the \u201cReview\u201d function in Word<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxp\">Brought to you by SLIS Tech Lab<\/span> <span class=\"_4yxo\">2pm-3pm, SLIS Tech Lab<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"_5a_q _5yj1\">\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Whether you are working as a copyeditor or just trying to give your classmates\u2019 feedback on a group project, you will probably need to use the \u201cReview\u201d function in Microsoft Word at some point in your career. Rather like a red pen on printed paper, Review allows you to add margin notes and marked line edits on Word documents. In this workshop, we will go over these basic functions as well as some of the more advanced customizable features of \u201cReview\u201d in Word.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">Interested in future events?
