An overview of Library Data and GIS Services

About the Digital Projects Lab

The Digital Projects Lab at Kennedy Library (temporarily located in Crandall Bldg. 60), supports students, staff, and faculty, working with data at all skill levels and across disciplines. We help students find datasets, apply software tools for exploration and analysis, and communicate effectively through data visualization. Help is available through in-class instruction, active workshops, and by meeting with DPL students and staff. Schedule a time to meet with a DPL Peer Assistant, or with the Data & GIS Specialist, Russ White.
