Mission StatementO The Electronic Data Center supports the use of
geospatial and quantitative data for both faculty and students and in both research and teaching. It furthers the academic mission of scholarly inquiry by assisting users with locating relevant data and with assembling those data into usable forms, thus allowing users to test and evaluation arguments and hypotheses and to move from the realm of the abstract and theoretical to the realm of the empirical. Reflecting the non-disciplinary nature of data, the Center assists researchers from departments and schools throughout the university.
