The University Libraries offers a variety of resources to help the CMU community master coding in open source programming languages and common data science tools, from workshops to recorded lessons available on YouTube. For those in need of more specialized assistance, students, staff, and faculty can also schedule virtual or in-person consultations with the Data & Code Support team.

Since launching one of the nation’s first open science programs in an academic library, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries has emerged as a national model for how libraries can lead in transparent, inclusive, and collaborative research. This fall, the Libraries will expand that leadership through a dynamic slate of training opportunities, community-building events, and published resources designed to equip researchers and librarians alike to work in the open.

Eason Chen, a second-year Ph.D. student in Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, has spent the past several years working on SuiGPT MAD (Move AI Decompiler) — a tool to help increase transparency around blockchain technologies. His innovative work was brought to the attention of University Libraries’ Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), who helped to support his project. Now, Chen’s project is getting international recognition — and could prevent millions of dollars in blockchain-managed assets from being stolen or frozen in the future.

KiltHub is a comprehensive institutional repository maintained by the University Libraries and hosted on the figshare platform, where Carnegie Mellon University researchers and their collaborators can share the scholarly outputs and research data produced in the course of their research. KiltHub curates, collects, preserves, and provides open access to this material as part of the Libraries' commitment to open scholarship and collaboration. We’re highlighting the download and upload numbers from March and April, along with the most-downloaded article across both months.

With the advent of generative AI, universities all over the country are reassessing their approach to both teaching and learning. And while Carnegie Mellon University Libraries already has many resources to help members of our community understand AI, it’s also on the cutting edge of figuring out how AI can support students and faculty alike; as a result, Libraries faculty and staff have begun integrating AI into areas they already support — with a new programming workshop powered by AI serving as an example.
