About Us

Digital Scholarship Studio

 

The Digital Scholarship Studio aims to empower its users to integrate technology and digital tools meaningfully in their academic pursuits by focusing on the development of digital fluency.

Our story

The concept for the Digital Scholarship Studio developed out of the UCC Library Space Master Plan (2019). Construction work began in the Summer of 2022 and in April 2023 the Digital Scholarship Studio opened its doors. Existing services such as 3D printing, equipment loans, the library studio, podcasting and VR were all brought together under one team. The new space incorporates 18 high end PCs and 2 Apple Macs and provides free access to software for creating a variety of digital outputs.

Who we serve
