Always losing your computer files? File naming workshop | Thurs. March 23, 1-2pm

Chris Childs, Education and Outreach Librarian

Have you ever accidentally lost or deleted your old files? Have you ever had trouble locating the current version among multiple versions of your paper?

Come and learn best practices on file naming conventions. File naming conventions are a set of rules that help you name your files in a consistent, logical, predictable way, allowing you to distinguish similar files from one another at a glance. With good file naming conventions, you will be able to access files without rethinking the process each time.

Thursday, March 23rd, 1:00pm-2:00pm (East Information Commons, 2nd Floor, Hardin Library)

Sign up for these workshops or request personal appointments online.
