Store, Organize, Access and Share Your Research Data

Faculty members conducting science research now have a vital ally, who will help them meet new National Science Foundation policies that require a detailed plan for organizing research data and making it accessible.

The Rutgers University Libraries, as part of its mission to support and advance the university's research agenda, offers solutions that enable faculty members to develop a data plan and provide for the ongoing management of their data. The Libraries invite faculty members to explore RUresearch, the emerging suite of RUcore tools and services, to support their research data. To read more, click here.

Preserve Your History at Rutgers Day

History is not just about “important” people.  As part of Rutgers Day 2011, the Rutgers University Libraries will formally launch a new project - MyJerseyRoots - that offers New Jersey citizens an opportunity to document the everyday life of our cities, small towns and rural communities from past to present.   Ordinary photos of your family, community, architecture and social events, and even your house will one day be fascinating artifacts for future generations.  For more information, click here.

Tools to Facilitate Student Research: Online Tutorials

Convenience for our students is key. Whether they are distance learners or our on-campuses students, they work on assignments at all times of the day and night. The Libraries have developed a set of tools to enable students to complete their assignments whenever and wherever they are. In the first of the three-part series on library tools, we will focus on online tutorials.
