The Research Data Service (RDS) is a campus-wide program that provides the Illinois research community with the expertise, tools, and infrastructure necessary to manage and steward research data. The RDS’s home is in the University Library, but the program also maintains active partnerships with campus units including the OVCR, GSLIS, Tech Services, and NCSA.
