Take a minute to think about who owns data compared to who uses data.  Different groups - like researchers, the government, companies, or organizations - may collect data.  They could own it, share it, publish it online, or combine it.  This year's Love Data Week wants us to ask 'Whose Data is it Anyway?'  This helps us remember to think about where the data came from before using it. 
 
Check out the Libraries for great events and workshops all week long!

This workshop will cover what constitutes "data", various forms it can take, what makes a dataset high-quality, data resources available through WKU Libraries, and best practices for finding as well as utilizing data in higher education.
