*RESEARCH DATA SERVICES (RDS) @ Georgia State University Library

Need quick help with a DATA-related question? 

Schedule an appointment for QUICK DATA HELP from a Research Data Services (RDS) member!

HOW-TOs OF QUICK DATA HELP:

1. See upcoming dates & times for Quick Data Help availability at lib.gsu.edu/libPIN --schedule your appointment at this link under Research Data Services (RDS) section: rooms.library.gsu.edu/appointments/
2. Quick Data Help is in the Library’s CURVE space (2nd floor of Library South building) -- see map below.
3. You are allowed a single 25-minute consult within a 2-hour shift.
4. If an RDS member determines that your need:
   1. cannot be addressed within a 25-minute session: They will ask that you contact them via email to schedule an appointment for a different day and longer period.
   2. would be better addressed by another RDS member: They will recommend that you attend the other RDS member’s data-help shift or that you contact them via email to schedule an appointment for a different day and longer period.
   3. does not fall within RDS’s Scope of Services Guidelines: They will communicate as such, and you may contact the RDS Department Head, Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh if you have further questions. See RDS Scope of Services Guidelines here.

We welcome appointments outside of our Quick Data Help shifts, too – both in-person and virtual and for longer appointments!

Email an RDS member directly (see our specialty areas and contact info here) or email libdatahelp@gsu.edu to ask. WE'RE HERE TO HELP!
