Welcome to Research Data
We apply the principles of library and archival sciences to meet the challenges and needs of researchers and students in finding, using, preparing, managing, curating and preserving research data. Working with our liaison librarians, we can help you plan, describe, disseminate, steward and archive your datasets.

Big Data @ Purdue Libraries
Big Data has been defined, among other things, in terms of the architectures and algorithms it relies upon (Hadoop, cloud, advanced statistical analysis, machine learning, etc.). Planning and performing everyday data management tasks become more complex, more time-consuming, and more prone to errors. In addition to researching the impact of Big Data on data curation and scholarly communication and drawing the landscape of Big Data at Purdue, Purdue University Libraries offer consultations on organizing, accessing, preserving and documenting Big Data. For consultations, please contact Line Pouchard.
Data Consultation
We offer consultation on implementing data management and assessing data workflows to create solutions for curating and publishing data. Contact Us
