WHEN

As part of the library space, the Data Viz pilot space will be open the whole time the library opens. However, the space is only staffed 9-5 Monday through Thursday and 11-5 on Friday. 

Students need to reserve the workstations during and after the staffed hours.

During unstaffed hours there will be limited access to VR devices.

Contact the librarian if you would like to use this space for a special event.

WHAT - Services

Funded by Tech Fee, the Pilot Data Visualization project primarily serves the student community on campus. However, we also try to extend our services out of the lab space to the whole campus. The services include:

• One-on-one research consultation on data sources and visualization tools;
• Group instruction in the pilot space;
• Embedded instruction in your class;
• Lab tour for special interest groups;
• Space reservation for presentation / instruction (contact your librarian or stop by the space for reservation).

You are most welcome to suggest service improvement through our assessment page. We appreciate your input!
