Librarian support for finding research data

Author: Melea Reicks Licht

University Library subject specialists are available to help researchers in need of federal information, online resources, and datasets at a time when materials may be challenging to access.  To contact the subject specialist for your research area visit https://www.lib.iastate.edu/research-and-teach/find-your-librarian.  

 

Additionally, the University Library Data Services team recommends the following best practices for data management: 

  • Identify online data you intend to use for current or future work. 
  • Download datasets you need and make multiple copies, stored in separate locations.
