[Michlib-l] Free economic data conference at Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Nov. 2018

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

Posted on behalf of the Beyond the Numbers conference of the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis for librarians interested in data. Come join us!



=============================================================



Beyond the Numbers - "The Data Ecosystem" (November 7-9, 2018)



Preliminary Schedule and Registration are available on the conference
website, *https://research.stlouisfed.org/conferences/beyond-the-numbers/
<https://research.stlouisfed.org/conferences/beyond-the-numbers/>*, for
this third biennial conference on economic information at the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis.



Speakers from the Census, World Bank, Board of Governors, and the OECD are
enthusiastic about meeting with librarians. With a focus on practical
information and data literacy, this will be a worthwhile program for all
who attend.  The conference is free and the presentations are terrific
(lunch provided, too!).  "The data ecosystem" encompasses all the
institutions and people involved in the production, management, and use of
economic data, from the newest undergraduate student to the seasoned
librarian to the venerable economist. This conference will bring together
librarians, information professionals, data researchers, and data managers
to improve understanding of economic resources and how to find, use, and
share them. We encourage users, creators, curators, and managers of
economic, business, and financial information to share their expertise and
provide insights into the challenges they face.
