The Libraries help researchers, faculty, and students across all disciplines manage, document, share, and preserve their data in line with open science principles and current funder requirements. Support covers data management and sharing plans, FAIR-aligned metadata and documentation, repository choices, and AI literacy for responsible data reuse.
