The purpose of opening research data is to reuse data. Based on researchers' the rapidly increasing demand for data reuse, international university libraries have launched various types of data reuse services. Among them, American university libraries have been providing the services on a large scale and being most representative. We found that the ways in which top 50 American university libraries, in U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities Rankings (2022-2023 version), provide their data reuse services include content guides, best practice case studies, consultation, training, seminars, communities, project exhibitions, and so on. Feasibility data reuse services include data search and acquisition, data evaluation, data visualization, guidelines for the rational use of data resources, data citation guidelines, data citation verification, and data storage and publication. Our suggestions for Chinese university libraries to enrich the types of data reuse services with the concept of “Digital Scholarship plus Open Data”, to enhance library service capabilities through the construction of a data reuse ecosystem, and to promote a culture of data sharing and utilization through scenario consolidation and development.
