Datapalooza makes research ‘rock’ at Parks Library

“Librarians are rock stars.”

“Maybe not in the glamorous sense of the word, with pyrotechnics and screaming teenage girls. But in Wednesday’s Datapalooza event at the library, they brought excitement and reason into a world many students dread — research.”

“Red and yellow balloons dotted eight computer workstations on the main floor of Parks Library. The workstations varied in focus from engineering to sociology, each staffed by a library bibliographer with a specialty in that field.” (from Iowa State Daily)
