University of Texas Libraries

The Libraries provides geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial data services for university faculty, students and staff across all disciplines and departments. We can help ensure that you have the software, data, technical training, and other resources you might need to successfully carry out any type of geospatial research project. Our goal is to facilitate geospatial research at the university by helping scholars overcome the technical challenges of working with geographic information in all phases of the research lifecycle.

The UT Libraries Research Data Services team can provide assistance in all phases of the research lifecycle, from the earliest planning stages through to data dissemination and preservation. To help researchers follow data management best practices and comply with data management policies, we offer personalized project consultation meetings, online guides, skill building workshops, and support for resources like the Texas Data Repository and DMPTool.
