Fondren Data Visualization Short Course Showcase

Welcome to this Short Course Online Guide!

In today's digital age, we all know that data has become a valuable asset for individuals and organizations across various industries. The ability to gather, process, analyze, visualize and report data has revolutionized the way we make decisions, develop strategies, and solve problems. It can become very challenging and complicated. It’s good to have lots of help along your exploration journey. We are here to assist your success.

Various Fondren Library units offer data services, ranging from reference assistance, in depth one on one virtual or on site research consultancy on developing data and statistics research questions, searching and acquiring datasets and statistics information, to data analysis tools training workshops.

Each unit’s service has a little different focus and service methods to meet a variety of data users’ needs. We understand that the data research project can become so complicated we often call each other and work collegiately together to tackle unexpected data issues you may encounter.
