As the volume and diversity of ecological data grows, scientific discovery demands ecological scientists and anthropologists develop common tools to solve common problems so that data, as well as published literature, can be used to frame and envision next-generation research. From November 27-30, 2012, the Coweeta (CWT) and Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) information managers pursued this goal by leading a workshop on the GCE Data Toolbox for MATLAB. At this workshop, information and data managers from 11 universities and federal agencies were provided a potentially critical step in meeting the need for a common set of tools. The workshop was organized so that attendees were offered time for hands-on instruction that not only provided an introductory framework, but also a considerable amount of unstructured time in which information managers could interact with the software and its developer using their own data to solve their own problems.
