Aggie Experts is a joint project between the Office of the Provost and the UC Davis Library. Its purpose is to create a central registry of UC Davis faculty, researchers, experts and creators and showcase the scholarship created at the university. Aggie Experts can be used as an expertise discovery platform for finding collaborators, mentors and expert opinions.
