Intro to Dewey Data

This workshop will introduce Dewey Data, a platform that provides Emory users with access to commercial datasets that would otherwise be costly to obtain. Participants will learn how to navigate Dewey’s data catalog, identify datasets relevant to their research, access and download data, and develop efficient workflows for working with large files. We will discuss potential research applications and provide code examples in both Python and R. Participants who wish to follow along with the examples should have either Python or R installed and access to an active Emory account. No prior experience with Dewey is required; basic familiarity with either Python or R will be helpful but is not necessary.
