Looking for a physical space on the McGill campus that can help you find and use data for your research? Need help finding data on a particular topic? Look no further than the McGill Library Data Lab that is located on the 2^nd floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (Room, M2-37A).

Consult with a data librarian to help you:

• Discover and cite relevant datasets
• Load and manipulate data in statistical software packages
• Understand metadata documentation

Open when the Humanities and Social Sciences Library is open, this research space offers 14 workstations with the latest versions of SPSS, SAS, Stata, NVivo, R, ArcGIS and more! Available on a first-come-first serve basis.

We have dedicated consultation services Monday through Thursday 10am-12pm to further support your data needs.

While we do not provide statistical consulting services, we are here to help you discover, access and use data to get it into the right shape and format for you to run a smooth analysis.

Happy Data-ing!

 

 

Please be advised that there will be a City of Montreal water shutdown at the McLennan Library Building on Thursday, March 2 and Friday March 3.  The shutdown will occur on both evenings from 10:00pm until 7:00am and will affect the entire building.

This shutdown is necessary for the City of Montreal to replace a major water valve on Sherbrooke Street.

During this time, please use the washrooms located in the Redpath Library Building.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.

Starting today, Monday, February 27, HSSL will be open for study 24 hours a day from Sunday night to Thursday. We’ll still be closing at midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.

24-hour access is provided (Sunday through Thursday) to the study spaces in the Redpath Library Building and on the main floor of the McLennan Library Building.

The upper floors of McLennan (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) are open for study until midnight. Students still studying on those floors at midnight will be asked to move to the McLennan main floor or over to the Redpath Library Building.

Anyone wanting to enter the Library after midnight will require a valid McGill ID card.
