A data librarian's dream come true: Data access made effortless

A collaborative effort among the Ontario data community created ODESI (Ontario Data Documentation, Extraction Service and Infrastructure), a data portal. This revolutionary process of obtaining data has transformed data access for researchers, empowering them by providing ready access to this vital data library service. This poster illustrates the cumbersome process that was necessary to obtain data 15 years ago and compares it with the quick, innovative way it is obtained today, thus freeing up the Data Librarian's time to educate the researcher in the intricacies of data literacy.
