The NYU Data Service Studio
The Data Service Studio (DSS) is a joint ITS and Libraries service that supports quantitative, qualitative and geographical research at NYU. The DSS offers access to specialty software packages, statistical and GIS training and support, and consulting expertise for many aspects of numerical and spatial data for research, including data access, analysis, collection, data management and preservation. The DSS facility is part of Bobst's Research Commons and is located on the 5th floor of the library.
The DSS is equipped with 26 lab workstations and is designed for students, faculty and staff to receive consultation help and access to statistical analysis, GIS, qualitative and survey research software.
Consultation is available by appointment through the online appointment form via email (data.service@nyu.edu), telephone (212-998-3434), or on a walk-in basis. Information on upcoming tutorials, clinics, and other events is available by subscribing to the ITS/FTS Statistics and GIS Group Listserv at: join-statistics@lists.nyu.edu (send a blank, plain text, e-mail, or sign up for the list within the NYU Home portal).
Data Management
The Data Service Studio (DSS) is prepared to assist researchers in developing data management plans. Please see our guide which gives background information, describes the elements of a data management plan, lists data management requirements, describes some data repositories and provides contact information for professionals in the DSS who can help researchers.
Computer Use Policy
The studio computers may be used by NYU faculty and students on a walk-in basis. However, workstations can be reserved by NYU faculty and students for data and statistical projects by contacting a consultant or using the web appointment form. Users working without reservations will be asked to relocate to another workstation when a computer has been reserved for project use. Use of the Data Service Studio is governed by the following guidelines:
