The Library Data Services Program (LDSP) guides scholars to discover, access, share, and preserve data through dataset acquisition, discovery and librarian-led instruction and consultations.
LDSP works with UC Berkeley librarians and library staff to provide internal professional development and training opportunities to better work with our own data and provide data services for our users.
