Data Day!

Join us in our celebration of data! Stop by anytime throughout the day for a short 20-60 minute session on a topic relevant to your interests. In the morning presenters will give tips on acquiring the data you want and demonstrate popular, easy to search data sources like the US Census and the World Development Indicators.

During the midday Exhibit Hall, people will be stationed throughout room 219 demonstrating data-centric software and tools that you can access for free via the library. Professor Ryan Watkins will kick off the afternoon session at 2pm with an introduction to machine learning for novices. Finally, at 3pm learn how to get started with data visualization.
