The Library has a new program designed to help us acquire the best data collections for you! Apply for a Library Data Grant by briefly telling us a little about the commercially-available data you need and how it fits into your research. If your application is chosen, the Library will fund access to the data and make it available for general use by the campus community.

Discovering a new dataset always makes for an exciting time at the Clark Library and provides an excellent opportunity to experiment. We recently learned about the newest version of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museum Universe Data File. The dataset consists of information describing over 35,000 museums throughout the United States. The dataset describes location, type of museum, rural/urban status and tax information (e.g. revenue, income) where available. There is much more that could be done with this data, but we initially just wanted to get a sense of what the data look like on a map.
