That's a lot going on, so here's everything you need to know:

https://ilearn.oregon.gov/ContentDetails.aspx?id=ABE27B7200B1403AACE84CCEF1EC5175

We will introduce state employees to the many resources and services the State Library offers primarily through its website. This class will serve as a bridge for more advance library classes and will familiarize the participant how the State Library can assist them with their work.

Introduction to Scopus

https://ilearn.oregon.gov/ContentDetails.aspx?id=C10C03C248384F9F987F7B205D302778

Learn how to use Scopus, an interdisciplinary, bibliographic database from Elsevier that indexes the contents of more than 21,000 publications. Scopus also features cited references and can be searched for articles that cite a specific article. This presentation will focus on using Scopus for research in the many disciplines state employees work within. We will discuss how to order articles and leverage Scopus against other State Library database resources.

11:00am

Finding Data & Statistics

https://ilearn.oregon.gov/dl.aspx?id=8DA1E15134D842F8911ABD31A937E6C3

This training will highlight State Library supplied databases that provide access to datasets and statistics, along with recommended government statistics portals. We'll look at ways of searching and browsing for information, along with the functionality of the databases to use and display datasets.

In the afternoon: Two amazing SORA presentations
The State of Oregon Research Academy is hosting two spectacular presentations that you won't want to miss.  Registration is not required for SORA's portion of the program, so just show up!  Unfortunately, we will not be able to live-stream the event.

1:30pm - 3:30pm

*         Dr. Larry Martinez, Portland State University - New Research in Diversity, Inclusion, and Allyship at Work

Diversity and inclusion remain critical aspects of organizational effectiveness and competitive advantage. However, there is often a lack of communication between research scholars who uncover data-driven best practices and organizational decision-makers who can enact actual change. In this talk, Dr. Martinez will provide an overview of some of the most contemporary diversity and inclusion research including his own work on allyship in organizational contexts.

*         Peter Stevens, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife - How Many Roads Must a Sturgeon Walk Down? Movement of White Sturgeon in the Federal Columbia River Power System

Peter Stevens will discuss how a long-term dataset of tagged White Sturgeon was used to examine sturgeon movements up and downstream within the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). This study used multi-state mark-recapture modeling with group co-variates to determine: 1) rates of inter-pool movement, 2) directionality of movement and 3) the physical mechanisms driving directional movement between pools.

In the in-between: Tour the International Outbreak Museum
The Portland State Office Building is also the home of the International Outbreak Museum<http://www.outbreakmuseum.com/>.  The IOM is the culmination one man's<http://www.outbreakmuseum.com/dr-bill-keene/> career-long quest to document over three decades of infectious disease outbreak investigations.  They will be hosting free guided tours at 1pm and 3:30pm.  Spaces are extremely limited, so sign-up here for tickets:
