WHAT WE DO

At the Digital Scholarship Centre (DSC), we offer services for research and teaching that respond to the needs of faculty and students at the University of Alberta.

  • We teach workshops and classroom sessions on digital scholarship practices.
  • We certify any member of the U of A community on using our tools; can be for academic or recreational purposes.
  • We assist with the learning and use of tools and software for use in projects, teaching, research, and beyond.
  • We advise researchers and their research teams in digital approaches to get projects off the ground.
  • We consult on grant applications by helping researchers refine their methodologies to include digital approaches.
  • We encourage exploration and experimentation with digital technologies in academic activities.

OUR SPACES

Our centre boasts around 8,000 square feet of research space, located on the second floor of the Cameron Science + Technology Library on the North Campus of the U of A. Our knowledgeable library staff are available to help visitors in the facility during operating hours.
