  • Location: Online via Zoom (limited to 30 registrants)
  • Date and Time: 3:00PM–4:00PM, Wednesday, July 15, 2026

OpenRefine is a great tool for tracking reproducible and undoable changes to data. It’s similar to working with a spreadsheet but with a powerful and intuitive interface that lets you visualize changes as you manipulate data with no coding or AI involved. OpenRefine is ideal for use on structured data, such as bibliographic data, Wikidata entries, or a database of your favorite songs. Learn some data wrangling basics like standardizing record values, making new columns based on current column values, and creating subsets of data during this abbreviated Library Carpentry OpenRefine tutorial.

No previous experience is necessary. Setup instructions and an example spreadsheet will be provided to registrants in advance.
