UVa's Local Instance of the Dataverse Software

LibraData - Dataverse Guides

These guides are for the version of Dataverse repository software installed on UVA's Dataverse repository - LibraData Repository.

How the Guides Are Organized

The Guides are reference documents that explain how to use LibraData, the local instance of Dataverse software installed at UVA. The User Guide is divided into primary activities: finding & using data, adding Datasets, administering Datasets, and Dataset exploration/visualizations. Details on all of the above tasks can be found in Topic links on the left.
