DataQ, a New Collaborative Platform for Answering Research Data Questions in Academic Libraries Formally Launches

DataQ, a new platform for answering research data questions in academic libraries has formally launched online.

The new resource is sponsored by:

• University Libraries at U. of Colorado Boulder
• Great Western Libraries Libraries Alliance
• Great Plains Network (GPN)
  with funding via a Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Sparks! Ignition Grant for Libraries.

From the DataQ “About” Page:

DataQ is a collaborative platform for the community to use to ask and answer questions related to research data support in academic libraries.

Library staff from any institution may submit questions on research data topics to the DataQ website, where questions are reviewed by an Editorial Team of experts with additional support from an active pool of Project Volunteers. Answers to these questions, from both the community and the Editorial Team, are posted to the DataQ website and include links to resources and tools, best practices, and practical approaches to working with researchers to address specific research data issues.
