The UC Merced Library will officially open its new Library Data Hub on Thursday, September 11, with a celebration from 3:00 to 4:30 pm on the third floor West of the Kolligian Library.
The hub brings together two dedicated lab spaces designed to strengthen support for data-driven research and teaching. The Data Lab (KL 336) will provide resources for foundational coding education, while the GIS Center (KL 330) will focus on geospatial research and mapping. Together, the facilities will offer students, faculty, and researchers new opportunities to expand their skills and explore complex questions through data.
Opening remarks and a welcome are scheduled for 3:30 p.m., followed by time for visitors to tour the new spaces, connect with colleagues, and learn more about the services and support available. Light refreshments will be provided.
All are welcome to drop by to explore the new hub. RSVPs to this grand opening are appreciated.
