Research IT News

The Illinois Data Bank is an institutional, self-deposit data repository designed to preserve and share data produced by Illinois researchers. Depositors are given a persistent URL (DOI) for their data and the dataset will be publicly findable through search engines. Research Data Service staff are available for deposit consultations and assistance at databank@library.illinois.edu.

Connecting researchers to the right technology and resources for their needs is one of the main initiatives of the new Research IT program launched by Technology Services in Spring 2018. With the help of two Research IT consultants, one researcher was able to solve a long-standing problem that was hindering her progress.
