Abstract
Librarians’ growing interest in collecting data is part of a broader professional desire to explore new avenues for engaging in faculty scholarship. We explored the challenges of acquiring and delivering small data sets for local scholars. Through this program, the library acquires commercially available data resources, uses this effort prepare library professionals to serve new roles on campus, and develops new opportunities for our services to reach the scholarly community on campus.
