A Service of Library and Learning Services
Welcome!
At Data Connection, our team of skilled librarians and library technicians can work with you to locate, store, and disseminate the data you are working with. We can help you:
- Connect with the best software for data collection and analysis, including tools for GIS, data visualization, and qualitative and quantitative projects
- Ensure that you comply with research funding requirements with a thorough data management plan
- Provide your students with practice datasets and opportunities to do data visualization
- Locate datasets from Canadian sources, including access through Sheridan's subscription to the DLI (Data Liberation Initiative, a partnership with Statistics Canada), and global repositories.
