Join us for the UT Libraries Love Data Week! This event will allow students, faculty, and staff from all fields to learn more about how their work intersects with data and how they can prepare to use data in their own projects. 

The event will feature a data organization fair with participants from on and off campus for attendees to learn more about how they can incorporate data into their own research no matter their field while enjoying a dirty soda! 

Throughout the week we encourage everyone to stop in for data related activities including grab-and-go coloring sheets and puzzles as well as handouts about getting started with data services from UT Libraries and valentines candy! Additionally, data related workshops will be held for attendees who want a deeper dive into some data topics.
