Research
The UW Tacoma Library offers assistance to faculty and instructors, from helping with quick information to working on in-depth research. Research help is always available online via our UW Libraries 24/7 Chat services. Research Help appointments with a subject librarian can be scheduled at your convenience. Learn more.
Data
The library is available for consultations and workshops around research data management, such as creating a data management plan, citing data, requesting a DOI, and making data openly available via Dryad or other repositories. You can learn more about the tools and services offered by the UW Libraries on our Data Management Guide.
Digital Scholarship
Whether you are interested in making your scholarship publicly-engaged or you want to find an alternative to a traditional research paper, you may be considering different digital scholarship options. The library is here to help you and your students use emerging technology critically and successfully. Instruction on using these tools can be delivered via synchronous Zoom sessions, asynchronous video, consultations and office hours, or Canvas modules. Some of the tools the library supports are:
- WordPress and SPOTs
- Omeka
- Manifold Publishing
- StoryMaps
- Open Source tools such as CollectionBuilder, Audacity, or Knight Lab storytelling tools

Open Educational Resources (OER)
Open Educational Resources (OER) are openly-licensed, freely available educational materials that can be easily used, modified, and redistributed by users. They are commonly used to help students save money on expensive course materials, but also allow instructors to create custom learning objects that are tailored to their curriculums and preferences. The Library can help you get started with finding, using, or creating OER.
To learn more or get started, reach out to Marisa Petrich, our Open Education Librarian.
