Using Digital Tools in Research Resources and expertise to aid your digital scholarship projects

UK Libraries has a full set of resources to aid you in digital scholarship projects and dedicated librarians to help at every point in the process.

Digital Scholarship Tools

Digital tools open new pathways for research, analysis, and publishing across all scholarly fields. Find a curated list in our Digital Humanities Guide.

• Research Tools allow you to identify patterns in large, machine-readable texts or data sets, mark up and annotate digital sources, and crowdsource research processes
• Analytical Tools, including data visualization and digital mapping software, can help you discover trends, uncover insights, and bring patterns to life
• Digital Publishing & Storytelling Tools assist you in producing dynamic outputs, such as building a website, creating audio and video content, or designing a virtual reality experience to communicate your findings and make your data accessible

Schedule a consultation with our librarians to become acquainted with available software, or learn more about tools and technologies you can use in all phases of data discovery and analysis on our Managing Your Research Data page.
