Virginia Tech University Libraries’ Data Service Pilot with the College of Natural Resources and Environment (CNRE)

This summary will provide the background, objectives, activities, and outcomes of the CNRE data service pilot project. Although the project has different components (training, collaborative research support, and needs assessment interviews), this report will primarily highlight the research questions, methods, and findings from interviews conducted in April 2015. A set of recommendations will be developed as we expand our capacity for data services to support the diverse research environments at Virginia Tech.
