LibraData - Dataverse Guides
These guides are for the version of Dataverse installed on UVA’s 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.
