Data and statistics play an important role in conducting research, yet understanding how to find, analyze, and manage data can be complicated. If you are interested in developing data skills, this session on finding data sources will provide an overview of introductory information to aid you on your path to being a data expert.

The workshop will introduce the basic concepts of data and examples of how it is used in supporting research, including copyright concerns to be aware of. Resources that are applicable in a variety of disciplines will be presented. Data source examples will also highlight open data sources, subscription-based sources available through the UCF Libraries, along with grey literature and preprint sources will be discussed.
