From 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on Friday, March 24, the UT Libraries, Information Technology Services, and the Texas Advanced Computing Center at University of Texas at Austin will hold a research computing resource info share. Select providers of research computing services will present their research computing services, how to access those services, along with the pricing structure for those services and any other pertinent details like storage timeframes, compute power, special features of their services for researchers. Two of our faculty and staff teams on active research computing projects will also share their experiences. The info share will be a hybrid event with a live session at the Perry-Castañeda Library in Learning Lab 1 and an accompanying virtual session that you can register to attend on the Zoom registration page.

Facilitating Research Data Management with SQL and NoSQL Databases
Storing research data in a database can help researchers explore their data with queries, facilitate collaboration, improve data security, and ensure data integrity. This workshop will explore the differences between relational, graph, and document databases to showcase how researchers can make use of the functionality they offer for managing data. These database models will be explored through examples involving queries with SQL and Cypher, use of Google Colab and Python for managing databases, and data visualization with graphs.
