International Love Data Week 2022 @ CSULB

Love Data Week (LDW) aspires to raise awareness and build community to engage on topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, reuse, and library-based research data services. Join us for Love Data Week 2022 from February 14 – 18, 2022.
