Research Survival Skills

The Data Services Unit, formerly known as the Data, Analytics, Visualization, and Informatics Syndicate, supports OU community members with their data needs. Consult with specialists and graduate assistants who are familiar with working with data, including management, analysis and visualization. With the ability to ask questions and receive guidance, Data Services is the focal point to help faculty, researchers, and students work with their data.

Digital Scholarship @ OU Libraries supports collaborative, cross-disciplinary research using emerging technologies. Through workshops, consultation, and training, our Digital Scholarship Specialists help faculty and graduate students identify innovative digital tools and resources that build on traditional research and teaching methods.

The University Libraries' emerging technologies unit is here to augment the research and instruction life cycle of the OU community through the application of new and underutilized technologies. While this team is always keeping an eye out for the next academic technology disruptor, the team currently focuses on 3D scanning, 3D printing, and virtual and augmented reality.
