Metadata provides contextual description and documentation in a standard format, facilitates long-term preservation, and leads to discoverability of information resources and research data providing greater access to research and data. For consultations, please contact us.

We can provide instruction in research data management and curation to increase skills in the classroom, help in the adoption of best practices in the lab, and in the use of tools and systems with the goal of making data available for discovery, dissemination, and preservation utilizing the Purdue University Research Repository (PURR). Contact Us

Big Data has been defined, among other things, in terms of the architectures and algorithms it relies upon (Hadoop, cloud, advanced statistical analysis, machine learning, etc.). Planning and performing everyday data management tasks become more complex, more time-consuming, and more prone to errors. In addition to researching the impact of Big Data on data curation and scholarly communication and drawing the landscape of Big Data at Purdue, Purdue University Libraries offers consultations on organizing, accessing, preserving, and documenting Big Data. For consultations, please contact us.

We offer consultation on implementing data management and assessing data workflows to create solutions for curating and publishing data. Contact Us
