Sources and support for finding and using numerical, spatial, and statistical data.

What We Do

The Brock Library's Research Lifecycle department provides support in the access and retrieval of numeric data (statistics and data) and geospatial data (cartographic, GIS, satellite).

Our team members offer assistance with:

  • Finding data available through the Brock Library
  • Downloading electronic data files
  • Converting data files into program-readable formats
  • Using data in a Geographic Information System (GIS)
  • Packaging data sets 
  • Research data management

For consultation or support, contact the library at libhelp@brocku.ca.

Note: At this time, we are not able to help with questions regarding statistical techniques or the use of specific software tools, although we can help you find resources, tutorials, and reference guides on those topics.
