LSU's Tiger Den Data Storage System to Provide "Ease of Life"
LSU researchers have been awarded $500K by the National Science Foundation to build a shared data storage system to elevate the research experience not just at LSU, but at universities across Louisiana. According to Michael Stewart, LSU Libraries' assistant director of libraries technology and co-PI on the project, “LSU is making a big statement here. LSU’s saying ‘Your data is important to the university, and we’re going to back that up… by… backing it up!’”
The LSU Libraries includes the LSU Library and the adjacent Hill Memorial Library. Together, the libraries contain more than 4 million volumes and provide additional resources such as expert staff, technology, services, electronic resources, and facilities that advance research, teaching, and learning across every discipline.
