Following the first successful event on social media data stewardship at the 2016 iConference in Philadelphia, we are delighted to announce the second annual Specialist Meeting on Social Media Data Stewardship at Toronto Metropolitan University on July 27, 2017.
The goal of the event is to bring together experts in social media research and data librarians to discuss methods, ethics and policies specifically related to managing social media data by researchers and data librarians.
This year’s meeting focuses on the following three areas:

- Data anonymization for publishing and sharing social media datasets,
- Practical & policy challenges of preserving social media data.
