Fall 2025 Offerings from Data ServicesPosted on September 29, 2025September 29, 2025 by mburkert Whether you’re learning technical skills, acquiring data for research, or building digital exhibits, the data experts at UO Libraries can help you along the way. Consultations Data Services supports students in tasks like R and Python programming, statistical testing, GIS tools, survey design, version control, high-performance computing, and data management. Consultations are available in-person or over Zoom. For drop-in help, the Data Services Help Desk is open weekdays 11am – 4pm by Knight Library 135. Workshops Data Services also offers free workshops on Python, R, ArcGIS, QGIS, and GitHub. Python is a great first programming language, while those with Python experience might like Wrangling Data with Python. If you enjoy crafting, check out the GIS & The Makerspace workshop, which introduces ArcGIS Pro through creating laser-cut acrylic maps, supplies included. For a light introduction to GIS, two sessions of Introduction to ArcGIS Online are available. R and RStudio are loved by statisticians and social scientists; come try R out in a beginner-friendly space. Finally, the GitHub Desktop workshop teaches version control essentials for programmers. Social Events Looking for something more casual? Join the Data & AI Book Club, or attend bi-weekly Coffee & Code talks over snacks and tea in the Knight Library DREAM Lab. This term’s Coffee & Code features a Meet Data Services event in Week 1 and a talk from Data Science major Calista Gerard on October 17th. And stay tuned for more details about a talk from GIS Librarian Chelsea Nestel in November.
