Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, held each year around Valentine’s Day. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the role data plays in research, teaching, and everyday decision-making—and to ask a deceptively simple question. This year’s theme, Where’s the Data?, invites us to think about where data comes from, how it moves, and what happens to it over time. 

Let’s kick off 2026 with the library spotlighting what’s new and what’s on the horizon in research and digital initiatives. Whether you’re a long-time digital scholar or just beginning to explore what’s possible, we hope you’ll find something here that inspires you and sparks your curiosity. There’s a lot happening at the library.

The library now has a collection of six sensory kits for you to check out. Inside each kit is a variety of things/objects/tools to help you focus. 

The sensory kits can be found in the Course Reserves and can be checked out for 3 hours at a time. 

We hope that these sensory kits will help you this exam season and beyond!
