Celebrate Love Data Week with us from Monday, February 9 to Friday, February 13, this year. This year’s theme is “Where’s the data?” encourages you to get thinking about your data’s journey, from collection through to storage and ultimately preservation. During Love Data Week, you’ll find a variety of self-guided data related activities to participate in on the library's first floor. “Join us in celebrating data in all its forms and learn something new to help your studies, research, or perhaps a passion project that is close to your heart,” said Quin Shirk-Luckett, research data specialist, Research & Scholarship.
