Data analysis involves inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and (often) computationally modeling data to find information and trends within a dataset, and inform decision-making and lend insight towards hypotheses. Data analysis helps us turn data into meaningful information about the objects represented through the data.

CMU Libraries offers several opportunities for hands-on help and collaboration with your data analysis needs and general data education. These opportunities involve working with our very talented group of librarians and specialists, most of whom have several years of hands-on experience with data analytics! Check out some of our programs below for more information:
The CMU Libraries Data Collaboration Lab (DataCoLAB) connects the research community across disciplinary borders, and facilitates collaborations between data producers and data scientists. The program connects researchers who want more from their datasets with individuals who have data and computer science skills, creating opportunities for people with different technical and disciplinary backgrounds to work together.
