Workshops are a great way to learn new skills and network with colleagues. This spring, we have two workshops to choose from: *Fundamentals of Project Management for Archivists* (SAA Arrangement & Description Certificate Program) You?re involved in a variety of projects every day, from small tasks such as developing a new procedures manual to large endeavors such as digitizing a collection. But because project management methodologies are not necessarily incorporated into formal education or archival training programs, you?ll want to take advantage of this course to acquire the essential knowledge and tools necessary for managing successful projects. *SAA will provide a $25 discount off the non-member rate for NEA members. Log on to the NEA website to view the promotional code on the member portal. * *Funding for Archives Work * This grants workshop will provide a detailed look at the competitive archival grant programs at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which are made through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), with a particular focus on the Access to Historical Records grant program. Executive Director Williams will walk you through the grant application process?the components of a good project summary, narrative, budget, and supplemental materials? as well as discuss the review process, the response phase, and Commission recommendations. You will have the opportunity to read and comment on two sample applications as part of the peer review process and come away with tips on what makes a successful application. All workshops will be held at The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis on March 23, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call to reserve a room at the NEA special rate ($115/night): (866) 828-9111 or (508) 775-7775.

Whether we work in cataloging and metadata, scholarly communication, archives, public services, instruction, or another area of librarianship, we have all heard a rhetoric of crisis, transformation, and rapid change applied to our work. The challenges we face have provided an opportunity to refocus on the foundations of our profession: our purpose and our areas of expertise. In reflecting on and redefining our work and ourselves, we are reframing librarianship for the 21st Century. This exciting topic will be kicked off by keynote Suzanne Wones , Director of Library Digital Strategies and Innovations at Harvard Library. *In this era of reinvention, how are we reframing ourselves, the work that we do, and our libraries?* *How are we communicating around this shift within our institutions and beyond?* Join us for a day full of professional enrichment, loaded with fantastic programming , networking opportunities, and ideas that will pique your curiosity and challenge your intellect.

To continue to enhance collaborative New England Region libraries' support of e-science initiatives for their research institutions, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region is hosting the University of Massachusetts and New England Area Librarian e-Science Symposium. This day-long event will serve as an educational and collaborative opportunity for science and health sciences librarians to discuss e-science resources, in addition to future roles that libraries and librarians might take on to support their institutions. The 2017 Symposium theme "Libraries in Data Science: Addressing Gaps and Bridges" will focus on collaborations and opportunities for librarians becoming involved in data science at their institutions. Attendees will hear a keynote from Kristi Holmes, Director Galter Health Sciences Library, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. Her keynote will focus on her library's success involved in Northwestern University's NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. We hope this session will inspire and motive attendees to "think outside" the library and identify potential bridges for data services. Breakout sessions are back this year! Participants will be able to attend 2 of 4 planned sessions featuring collaborations libraries are currently involved in. See complete descriptions. Options include: * Data Repositories Interactive Workshop: Andrew Creamer and Hope Lappen, Brown University * Education & Training Interactive Workshop: Sophie Hou, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and Nancy Hoebelheinrich, Knowledge Motifs, LLC * Education & Training Presentation: Sex, Lies, and Data with Shea Swauger, University of Colorado - Denver * Institutional Models Presentation: Christine Malinowski and Phoebe Ayers, MIT In the afternoon, there will be a moderated panel discussing the ways librarians and libraries can work with institutional partners (either on/off campus) to enhance data science. The panel will be moderated by Sally Gore, Research Evaluation Analyst, University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science. Participants on the panel include: * Daina Bouquin, Head Librarian, John G. Wolbach Library, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics * Audrey Mickle, Data Librarian, Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Library * Yvette N. Woell, Manager, Argonne Research Library, Argonne National Laboratory Additionally, as with previous symposia, a poster session will be held, to highlight work in e-science that has been accomplished at various libraries in the region while also encouraging discussion and networking among event participants. This year's symposium will again feature a poster competition with three different competition categories. To submit a proposal, please refer to the submission instructions; we are still accepting submissions until February 8th! The symposium is free of charge, but advance registration is required; due to strict space limitations, attendance will be capped at 100 people. Please register now!
