6. What are participants saying?
“... selectively use the 23RDThings content ...
modified for our ... students …”
“... my thinking and
learning has broadened so
much … conversations
with very experienced
people ”
“… a marvellous instructional
tool that fosters both
contemplation and discussion of
the social (and political) aspects
of research data as well as the
technical ones..”

7. #23rdThings

8. Key learning: 23T is not enough…but it can be too much!
People are time
poor, so we
created
physical places
and time spaces
for 23T:
Flings, crash
courses, sprints
to the finish!

10. Julie’s story
From humble subject librarian to research data
aficionado…
