Multi-media aids / data-viz. Our personnel are trained and equipped to assist in the devlopment of multimedia and data visualization products to aid faculty in their job of communicating their findings in the most effective way possible.
Media relations. Staff generate press releases and coordinate media contacts related to research conducted on Center projects.
Front-end web services for MPRC faculty. Information Services regularly supports faculty requests for specialized web services to support research responsibilities. These services range from discrete subsites supporting a specific project, to conference coordination pages, to storage and access of datasets and papers for student or public access.
