Data, Science, & Librarians,
Oh My!

My thoughts as I navigate the world of data librarianship.

Getting Use Cases is Hard

In teaching reproducibility in library classes here at Bobst, I've often XX.

Rémi Rampin and Fernando Chirigati, the current and former developer of ReproZip, made this great GitHub repository called ReproZip Examples, dedicated to showcasing examples and use cases from different domains using ReproZip.

In May, Rémi and I will be at the Data and Software and Preservation for Open Science workshop, Container Strategies for Data Software Preservation that Promote Open Science. I'm serving as an external organizer, but the two of us will be doing some extensive work with ReproZip while there. In addition to a talk/demo during the conference preceedings, we are leading three breakout sessions that will allow people to try out ReproZip for themselves, using their research if they brought some. I'm hoping that, with the new repro ReproZip-Examples, we can get some people at the DASPOS workshop to add their own .rpz packages for us to try and reproduce! This would be the best-case scenario.
