Get ready for Love Your Data Week! All next week, we’ll be sharing practical tips, resources, and stories to help researchers at any stage in their career use good data practices. Research data are the foundation of the scholarly record and crucial for advancing our knowledge of the world around us. Let’s show it some love! Join us for the kickoff event in the Hunt Library Lobby, Monday, Feb. 13, 1 - 3pm. We’ll have cookies and other treats, ‘I love my data’ buttons, and information about our services. Librarians will be on hand to answer questions.

It's all about open
University Libraries is hoping to engage CMU researchers in practices that will enhance the discovery, use and impact of their work.
With that goal in mind CMU Libraries has launched the #OpenCMU campaign, emphasizing the benefits of open access, open data, open licenses and open peer review for researchers.
Throughout the fall semester, #OpenCMU will teach researchers how to increase access to their work as well as how to get credit for their work. Followers of the campaign on Twitter and Facebook will find information disseminated in bite-sized bits—quick to consume and easy to digest.
To schedule a presentation or Q&A for your department or class, contact Denise Troll Covey, Scholarly Communications Librarian, at troll@andrew.cmu.edu or 412-268-8599.
