The Scholars Lab is a PCL-based campus-wide resource that provides researchers with infrastructure, UT Libraries subject librarian and domain-situated expertise, and opportunities for learning, consultation, collaboration and research presentation to enhance multidisciplinary research and digital scholarship.
Scholars Lab services draw from a diverse group of UT Libraries experts to provide a framework of research and scholarship support throughout the research lifecycle: planning, conducting, publishing, and increasing access to and impact of research.
It is located on the entry-level of the Perry-Castañeda Library, in a space adjacent to the lobby and Scholars Commons. It includes a Data Lab, Scan Tech Studio for digitization of print materials and optical character recognition, hybrid meeting-enabled project rooms, and a variety of spaces for both individual and collaborative productivity.
