Calling all coders, creative thinkers, communicators, and those curious to test out new technology. Come along and be part of the Researcher@Library hack day for social good and make real changes. Help explore, visualise, map and connect a rich collection of social data from library and government including Find and Connect, AURIN, Australian Women's Register and Trove.
Bring a team, or join one on the day - everyone is welcome. There is no cost to enter, and catering will be provided by the Sorghum Sisters (a local catering social enterprise specialising in African cuisine) . We will have experts who are familiar with the data available to help you throughout the day.
Prizes donated by the University of Melbourne Library and Find & Connect. Keeping with the social good theme, these will be awarded to the charity of the winner's choice.
