The UCR Library is excited to participate once again in UC Love Data Week, taking place February 10–14. 

This virtual UC-wide event offers a range of workshops and presentations designed to help the UC community better understand and manage their data.

From data access and preservation to cutting-edge topics like artificial intelligence, UC Love Data Week provides valuable resources for researchers at all levels.

The UCR Library is proud to host two workshops as part of this year’s lineup. The first, Data Research Repositories, Digital Scholarly Ecosystems, Open Science & AI Possibilities, led by Acting AUL for Research and Technology Ray Uzwyshyn and Maker Services Coordinator Brendon Wheeler, will explore these topics to help illustrate relationships between data and artificial intelligence.

The second workshop we are hosting is To Be or Not to Be: Photogrammetry and Virtual Reality Environments, presented by Innovative Media Librarian Alvaro Alvarez and Brendon Wheeler. They will go over how to store 3D data and how to engage the data with virtual reality using Unity.
