@librarianlise is also interested in giving more context about the data (at least to instructors so they can use the information at their discretion). Examples include:

  • certain results can look weird, but it's actually just the data set (i.e. there are many issues to one journal, and the other journals all have one issue)
  • time permitting, how it could be valuable to talk about better ways the database could be structured (i.e. a separate subjects table)

I noticed that the possibility of a separate subjects table is brought up in section 9 (which we didn't teach) so something to consider when we get to this issue.

@JordanPedersen I like this idea. I think putting this at least here: https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-sql/guide/index.html, would be useful. Is that something you think makes sense? Sort of adding as FYI, as questions may arise?

@jyssy that is indeed what Jordan and I were thinking. 👍
