This chapter from Transforming Libraries to Serve Graduate Students (Chicago: ACRL, 2018) focuses attention on graduate students’ data needs, presenting the following: (1) an overview of the services the Georgia State University Library’s Research Data Services Team provides to help social science graduate students with their data needs; and (2) an examination of one year’s data services consultations with graduate students that further elucidates their pressing data needs and how the Georgia State University Library is endeavoring to meet those needs. This close look at Georgia State University Library's experience of providing data services demonstrates the potential for academic librarians to push the boundaries of their traditional roles and become embedded in graduate researchers’ processes throughout the research life cycle.

Erratum: Page 295, sentence reading “Responding to the perceived need for advanced-level quantitative analysis support, the Georgia State University Library in June 2017 hired a Quantitative Data Specialist for the Social Sciences for a newly created position to enhance our capacity to assist campus researchers with data analysis software and to expand our ability to provide statistical consulting,” the correct date is June 2018.
