Scholars Lab

The Scholars Lab is a PCL-based campus-wide digital scholarship center 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.

The lobby of the Scholar's Lab, where students are socializing and studying both together and alone.

At the Scholars Lab, we offer digital scholarship consultations on data cleaning, digital visualization, optical character recognition, research dissemination, and more. Additionally, we provide support through consultations, events, workshops, and software and technology assistance.

We are located on the entry-level of the Perry-Castañeda Library, in a space adjacent to the lobby and Scholars Commons. The Scholars Lab includes a Data Lab for events, instruction, and features qualitative and quantitative data analysis software.
