Did you know we are hosting…Love Data Week, February 9-13?
Join us online or in person to celebrate Love Data Week! The library is hosting a variety of events, including our popular “Make a Valentine” table, a Data Rescue Hackathon, trivia night, and more! Find and register for events on the library calendar.
Did you know we have access to…Scopus AI?
Scopus AI creates a Wikipedia-like summary in response to a research question, backed by peer-reviewed sources from Scopus. An interactive concept map, surfacing of research themes, and leading authors all help to give researchers further insight into a topic, as well as suggestions for further exploration.
Have a question about using Scopus AI or our other resources? Reach out to your subject librarian.
That’s it!
Questions about the library? Email Alissa Link Cilfone, Head of STEM, or Jen Ferguson, Head of Research Data Services — we’d love to hear from you!
