Scholars Commons
The Scholars Commons is a University of Texas Libraries pilot initiative introducing new spaces and approaches to research and data lifecycle support at the university.
We hope to support and inspire scholarship through research consultations; a data lab with advanced software; workshops introducing tools for digital scholarship, data analysis, and scholarly communication; spaces for collaboration; and exhibits and events that provide opportunities for scholars to share their research.
Research Support
We provide research consultations, digital scholarship focused workshops, citation management, data management and writing support services.
Scholarly Publishing
We offer information and consultations for copyright issues and authors who have questions about where and how they can share their work, and are interested in learning more about retaining rights to their work.
