As technology advances, research methodologies in the sciences, social sciences and the humanities are also shifting. A new resource at the FIU Libraries, the Digital Scholar Studio, aims to provide students and faculty with the necessary tools and training to analyze and create in a technology-driven era.
Funded by student technology fee grants, the Library Digital Scholar Studio, with a suite of specialized multi-media software and hardware and visualization tools, is fully open to students and faculty Fall 2016.
Its resources will be available at both the Green and Hubert libraries, better enabling all FIU students to create visual representations of work in the humanities and the sciences.
