Data Services at University of Oregon Libraries
Please welcome our new statistical consultant, Sabrina Reis. Sabrina is a fourth-year student double majoring in Data Science and Mathematics and Computer Science (MaCS) with minors in Geography and Spanish. Sabrina can provide assistance with Python, R, SQL, project management, advanced statistical analysis in research settings, and more. To schedule an appointment with Sabrina or another consultant, visit our page here.

Skills in data analysis, coding, statistics, and machine learning are increasingly in demand, and are integrated into courses across the University of Oregon’s campus. This means on the one hand that data science skills are being taught everywhere, and on the other hand that you might not notice that a class that meets your needs is available in another department or school at UO. One of the goals of this blog is to give more cross-department visibility to the many opportunities to build your data science skills across campus, and we begin by sharing this list of classes offered in the last few years at UO. Clay Small, Research Assistant Professor and Interim Graduate Program Coordinator for the UO Data Science Initiative, kindly shared an initial list of courses that fit this description, to which we have added a few more. Caveat emptor: this is a list of courses that have been offered in the past; courses change all the time. If you know of other courses that have been left of the list, know that a course is no longer being offered, want to add a link to a course website, or have a new UO data or stats resource to share, please email us at DataServices@uoregon.edu.

Welcome to the official blog of the University of Oregon Libraries Data Services Department. We hope to post at least once a term with recommended resources from the web, more about our services, and how to find classes and other resources for learning about data, statistics, and data science related topics at UO. In the meantime, check out our upcoming workshops, drop in for a statistics or programming consultation, and explore UO’s maps and cartographic resources.
