Ever opened a file and thought, “What is this... and why did I name it ‘final_final_REALversion.docx’”? This interactive workshop will help you escape the horrors of poor information management. Learn how to organize, manage, and preserve your materials and information effectively. This workshop will introduce best practices for file naming, version control, formats, metadata, and storage along with strategies to protect your work from loss, obsolescence, or confusion later on. Whether you're just starting a project or preparing to share or archive your work, this session will help set you up for long-term success and how to keep your information from disappearing into the digital abyss.

Bring a laptop if you can!
