The value of data has been increasing as more decision makers leverage data regularly. The University of Illinois has a wealth of data available. Many of our business units are great about preparing and making data available. Unfortunately finding that data may be one of the bigger problems for our campus. The Data Services Center (DSC) was created by the College of LAS to make finding and accessing data easier no matter where that data is and whomever manages that repository. Come learn how to save your favorite data sources and search for data you need. Information on how to add additional data sources to the DSC will also be covered.

Attendees will have knowledge of the DSC and how to use it to search for data. Data providers will know how they can add their data to the DSC so that it can be Discovered by people searching for it.
