Snacking on Bits and Bytes: Learning on all things data
In 2020 and 2021, the Map & Data Library offered an online webinar series featuring presentations and demonstrations on data-related topics and tools, such as web archives, visualization, GIS and statistics. Each presentation, including a question and answer period, was one hour long. Everyone was welcome, including those from outside the University of Toronto community. For more information, see our Bits and Bytes page, which includes slides and captioned recordings for past events.
