Thank you for your interest in developing and sharing lesson materials! To submit lesson materials or suggest a topic for future curricular development, please answer the questions below. Our Curriculum Development Team will follow up to suggest next steps in your lesson's trajectory. Questions? Please email [email protected].

  1. What is the topic of your lesson or lesson proposal?

Data cleaning, analysis and visualization in Excel (focus on library-based data; for Librarians)

  1. Do you already have a draft of your lesson? You're welcome to share materials at any stage of development. If you already have drafted materials, please include a link.

(If you answered "No" to question 2, you can skip the remaining questions. Thank you for your lesson idea!)

  1. Do your materials conform to our Code of Conduct? yes

  2. Are your materials already on GitHub and do they use The Carpentries lesson template? (you can visit our lesson example to learn more about how to use our template). No. I can add them to GitHub, as needed. They are currently saved in a repository.

  3. If you answered "No" to either part of question 4, would you like our Curriculum Team to create a repository for you in The Carpentries Incubator? I don't know.

  4. If you answered "Yes" to both parts of question 4, would you like to transfer your repository to The Carpentries Incubator? You will have Admin access to the repository. I don't know.

  5. If you answered "Yes" to either question 5 or 6, list the GitHub handles for people who should have Maintain access to your lesson. If you don't know how to answer this question, don't worry! We can always add collaborators later.

Hi @kglibrarian, thank you for your submission to The Carpentries Incubator! Do you have a sense of whether the approaches in the lesson would translate to other spreadsheet programs like Libre Office or Google Sheets? If so, we could use a lesson title like "Data cleaning, analysis, and visualization with spreadsheets", even if the lesson screenshots are in Excel. If the methods are only applicable to Excel, then the title referring specifically to Excel seems more appropriate.

Additionally, the lesson will have to be converted to use the Carpentries lesson template; you can take a look at the lesson example to find out more about the format.

If you'd like to proceed with transferring the lesson content to an Incubator repository using the lesson template, let me know, and I can create a new repository for you, give you administrative access, and set up a GitHub team where you can add other GitHub accounts as maintainers.
