Research Data Services – NBLALL: The Missing Page

Love Data Week is an international event that takes place every year during the week of Valentine’s Day. Institutions around the world host data-related events, and Rutgers Libraries in New Brunswick have a variety of workshops planned that cover coding, GIS, and data management. Check out the schedule on our NBL workshop calendar at https://libcal.rutgers.edu/nblworkshops

The theme of #LoveData23 is Data: Agent of Change. In the hope of inspiring you to use data for positive change, I’ve put together a list of sources of datasets that have been collected on social justice issues and marginalized groups. The list is not comprehensive but I hope it may be useful in thinking about data for change. Please see the list at Speaking of STEM.

Laura Palumbo, Research Data Services Team Leader

The Research Data Services Team provides services for the Rutgers New Brunswick research community on the organization, management, sharing, and preservation of research data, at all phases of the research data life cycle. We do this through outreach events, individual consultations, and workshops on such topics as data management planning; best practices for organizing, storing, and sharing data; and the use of software and tools for data analysis, visualization, and sharing. Information about data workshops and other data management resources are available on the New Brunswick Libraries Research Data Management Services website.

Plans for the coming year include presentations by data repositories for sharing and preserving research data, an environmental scan of data services being offered at other research institutions, developing GIS services, and creating workshops and presentations that are customized to the research practices of different disciplines, through collaboration with interested liaisons. If you are a liaison who would like to learn more about data management, please consider joining our team.

The Research Data Services Team leader is Laura Palumbo. The current members are Francesca Giannetti and Ryan Womack.
