As new regulations and best practices with research data evolve in academia, a new department at the University of Georgia Libraries is poised to help researchers navigate the changing technology and policy landscape at every stage of their project, from data management planning to analysis to publishing.

The Department of Research and Computational Data Management (RCDM) offers resources and support to faculty and student researchers whether they are experienced or just starting out. The five-person team, led by Dr. Beth Woods, offers seminars, workshops and one-on-one consultations with research data management planning; data discovery, access, and collection; data storage, analysis, and visualization; and publishing, copyright, and digital preservation. 

As part of a campus-wide effort to enhance safety at the University of Georgia, public hours at two University of Georgia Libraries locations have been altered. 

Beginning March 11, members of the public will be welcome at the UGA Main Library on North Campus and the McBay Science Library on South Campus during our public hours until 6 p.m. After that time, students and other members of the university community can access the buildings for study sessions and research with their UGA or college ID. The Miller Learning Center will continue to be limited to those with a UGA or college ID from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m.

UGA Libraries is marking Black History Month this February by sharing e-resources and other unique materials about African American contributions through scavenger hunts at the largest campus library locations.

The University of Georgia Libraries are pleased to announce the naming of three new leaders who join University Librarian and Associate Provost Toby Graham in providing direction-setting and oversight for the libraries.

Newest to UGA is Sara Wright who started her role as Associate University Librarian for Learning Services and Academic Engagement in January. Wright formerly served as director of Cornell University’s Mann & Science Cluster Libraries, and her career at Cornell included stints as Academic Technology Librarian; Head of User Services and Engagement; and Head of Learning, Spaces, and Technology.
