About
What
The Midwest Data Librarian Symposium (MDLS) is intended to enable Midwestern librarians who work with research data management issues the chance to network; however, it is open to all who wish to attend, including future “data librarians” and those situated outside the Midwest.
MDLS’s goal of providing low-cost networking and educational opportunities has inspired two “sister events”: Mountain West Data Librarian Symposium and South East Data Librarian Symposium.
When and Where
MDLS is held in October and the location changes every year. MDLS 2018 is sponsored by Iowa State University Library and will take place on October 8-9th in Ames, Iowa.
