  Specutils is an Astropy affiliated package which provides a consistent
interface to astronomical spectra (primarily 1D). As Specutils can be adapted
to parse spectra in many different formats, Specutils plays a key role at Data
Central, allowing us to handle the diverse formats provided to us by survey
teams. In this poster, I will cover what Specutils is, how it works, how Data
Central uses it, and why you too should use and contribute to it.
