University Libraries Announces Love Data Week Schedule for 2023

The University Libraries Research Data Management team presents SHU’s 6th Annual Love Data Week, from Monday, February 13th to Friday, February 17th, 2023. This popular week of events was launched to highlight the new direction in academic libraries to find, manage, analyze, and visualize data.  These services are critical for enhancing the quality of student coursework, faculty and student research, access to collections as well as graduate retention.  Registration for all events here.

This year’s workshops range from Github for Researchers to Python for Quantitative Research as well as topics in finance and leisure reading.  The Data Discovery session on February 15 will show data subscriptions available to the SHU community to enhance research, grant proposals, and even one’s personal life.  PolicyMap, for example, is an easy to use mapping tool that allows a user to explore U.S. neighborhoods where the SHU community lives, works or volunteers.  PolicyMap is used across SHU in disciplines ranging from Public Health to Education and Business Writing with Professor Greg Iannarella.

The planning committee for Love Data Week includes librarians including Professor Michael Murphy who supports the value of this initiative: “I’m very excited by the mix of new and returning speakers and the breadth of topics being covered this year.” Professor Murphy is the liaison to the School of Diplomacy and International Relations and the Department of Political Science & Public Affairs.  Professor Murphy also coordinates DiploLab, a collaborative research space run by Dr. Joseph Huddleston.  DiploLab allows students to explore their interests related to international relations, engage with faculty, and apply what they are learning beyond the classroom.

In addition, 2022 programs include great presentations about Seton Hall’s Collections Around the World and conversations about Data Ethics.

Love Data Week 2021

Seton Hall University Libraries’ new Data Services Group, is excited to invite the SHU Community to Love Data Week 2021, to be held virtually February 8th-12th .

Love Data Week (LDW) is an international celebration of data, aiming to raise awareness and build a community to engage on topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, reuse, and library-based research data services.

Follow ❤ Love Data Week ❤ online at #lovedataweek21

This year’s LDW theme at SHU is “Diversity and Inclusion in Data”. We want to support the SHU community with our data subscriptions (such as ICPSR and PolicyMap) and open source tools to promote finding data related to marginalized communities and BIPOC (black, Indigenous and people of color), and visualizing the information using impartial and fair methods. Programs range from a conversation about Algorithmic Bias and Data Ethics, Using PowerBI to identify diversity in your workplace, and finding thematic and minority data collections in ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research).

All are encouraged to learn about Research Data Services now offered by University Libraries, including how to create a data management plan and data storage options with University Libraries. This new offering will help faculty when applying for grants and teach researchers how to manage, preserve and store data for reuse.

Faculty who are unable to attend these sessions can have them delivered during scheduled class time for their students. Make arrangements through your liaison librarian.

Join a session (or a few!) on Microsoft Teams and get connected.
