Data & Code Support @ CMU Libraries: Start

How to get help with your coding and data science projects

If you get stuck with your coding or need help with a project, book a consultation, in person or virtual. Want to get started with learning how to code in R or Python or need a refresher? Try one of our workshops or an online training resource.

Find more information on these services below and contact the CMU Libraries' Research Data Services team at data@cmu.libanswers.com if you have questions.

Data & Code Support Consultations

Book an in-person or virtual consultation for help with R and Python coding and other data science tools.

Schedule a Consultation

RUG, an R meetup

Curious about R? Working on a project in R?

Join RUG every Wednesday in-person (beginning after Fall break) from 2 - 3pm on the 4th Floor of Hunt Library (previously the special collections room).

RUG is an open and informal collaborative space for experimentation and exploration with the R programming language. From looking for advice or assistance with new or current projects to discuss and learn new skills using RUG is your place!
 

RUG is open to people of all skill levels, disciplines, and backgrounds. No question is too small!

A quick note: the room does not have power outlets, so be sure to come with your laptops fully charged.
