Love Data Week

by Sarah Bender

From Feb. 10–14, the Libraries celebrated Love Data Week 2025. This year’s theme, “Whose Data Is It, Anyway,” focused on how data collected by groups like researchers, governments, or companies is owned, shared, and published.

Attendees could attend ten different hands-on workshops with in-person and virtual options throughout the week, and earned badges and a certificate for participating. They could also stop by tabling sessions in both Hunt and Sorrells libraries to learn more about the different ways the Libraries can help with data curation, management, and sharing, and even ask questions about their own projects.

The Libraries Data Services and Publishing team offers support for coding, text and data mining, digital humanities, research data management, and more. The CMU community can reach out to ask questions and get help with projects.
