<p>On Wednesday 22 August 2012, I gave an invited presentation at the August meeting of Oxford Open Science, hosted at the Oxford e-Research Centre. The theme of the evening was “How do we prepare postgraduate research student for the era of big data?”</p>
<p>There were some interesting presentations around that subject:</p>
<ul>
<li>Juliet Ralph and Oliver Bridle from the <ahref="http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley">Bodleian</a> discussed information seeking behaviour amongst students;</li>
<li>
<ahref="http://okfn.org/">Open Knowledge Foundation’s</a> Laura Newman told us about the <ahref="http://schoolofdata.org/">School of Data</a>, a project to produce learning resources for those working with data;</li>
<li>Anna Collins from <ahref="http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/">DSpace Cambridge</a> talked about “long tail in the shadow of big data”.</li>
</ul>
<p>My own presentation discussed some of the work I’ve done providing social media and data management training for PGRs, and the slides can be viewed here:</p>

<p>As an experiment, the <ahref="http://github.com/jezcope/oxford-open-science-2012">LaTeX source of the slides</a> is also available on github. Let me know if they’re any use.</p>
