Monthly Office Hours: LOD offers monthly EDP office hours on the fourth Wednesday of every month (9 a.m.) where you can have your questions answered or learn from your peers. The next session will be on April 24. Register for any month (April – October) using this link go.osu.edu/Engage-EDP-OfficeHours (registration is required). Join the April 24 office hours for a quick demo on how to get the most out of the portal's search feature. Can’t make it to office hours? Submit your question to go.osu.edu/Engage-EDP-Help for assistance.
Monthly Newsletter: Be on the lookout for “↻ Refresh!,” which is the OSU Extension Data Portal monthly newsletter. The email containing the newsletter comes from OSUE-LOD@osu.edu on the third Wednesday of each month and contains information about updates to the system and other important news. In our March edition, a new playlist on the LOD YouTube channel was shared where you can watch short videos (less than 10 minutes) on how to use features in the portal. Check it out here — go.osu.edu/Engage_EDP_resource_videos.
