Here is an instructional guide I developed for scientific data management:

Directed at Berkeley graduate students and researchers, this guide divides data management into six activities and explains best practices for each one. The guide includes short videos, links, and tips that can be used independently or as part of a larger data management literacy program.

Here is my guest lecture for LBSC 670 Organization of Information at the College of Information Studies, University of Maryland.

Advancing the impact of research: The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII)

This was a guest lecture and discussion for LIB 100 Information Literacy, an undergraduate class at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.

It was conducted as a live web conference and was 50 minutes long. The students were together in a classroom in North Carolina and I web conferenced in from California.
