Each computer has a variety of data visualization and data analysis software installed. In addition, there is a small seminar table with an 80" large-screen monitor. 

Data Analysis Software Assistance

Assistance with data analysis and statistics software

The University Libraries is pleased to offer support for exploratory data analysis and statistics. This service provides free, one-on-one or small group help with research data. In-person and virtual appointments are available. Although support for qualitative data may be available in some cases, the service primarily helps with quantitative data. Walk-ins to the University Libraries DataLab are welcome but we strongly encourage scheduled appointments to assure the best service.
