Research Data Services & Social, Natural, and Engineering Sciences

The Research Data Services + Social, Natural, Engineering Sciences team is divided into two groups. The Research Data Services (RDS) group consults with and trains researchers in acquiring, collecting, wrangling, analyzing, visualizing, sharing, and preserving research data. Our data professionals, in collaboration with our research librarians, work to advance data science, using data to answer scientific questions, making analysis reproducible, and promoting open data to enable long-term discovery and knowledge.

The Social, Natural, Engineering Sciences (SNE) group supports research needs across the scientific disciplines, from finding materials and managing information, to understanding the changing scholarly landscape and promoting information literacy. Information experts, together with our data team, work with students and faculty to enhance their scholarship and navigate resources across the University.
