Workshops at the University of Texas Libraries are free, drop-in workshops on topics related to research, digital tools and more. All workshops are free, open to everyone and located across Libraries locations. Workshops with invited speakers or co-organized with outside institutions may be subject to registration fees. Non-UT affiliated persons can connect to our WiFi network through the UTGuest network or EduRoam.
Upcoming Workshops
In this Using AI for Research workshop, we will investigate the utility of two AI research tools, Elicit and Consensus. We will provide an overview of the tools, time for hands-on interaction, and a discussion on the pros and cons of each tool.
This one-hour, in-person workshop is open to all UT students, faculty, and staff, and you don't need any previous knowledge of the tools to participate. The Scholars Lab provides access to desktop computers, but attendees can use their own laptop if they prefer.
Due to space constraints, registration is required to attend the event. Registration will open at noon on February 27, 2025, and is limited to the first 50 sign-ups.
Instructors: Lynn Bostwick (Liaison Librarian for Health Sciences), Grant Hardaway (Psychology & Life Sciences Librarian), and Casey Ruegger (Liaison Librarian for Education).
Location: Perry-Castañeda Library Scholars Lab, Data Lab (PCL 2.202)

This virtual Digital Humanities Workshop will serve as an introduction for attendees to the best practices and tools for personal email archiving.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to identify tools for extracting correspondence from their personal email accounts and learn standards and methods for long-term preservation. Prior knowledge of email archiving practices is not a prerequisite for this workshop.
Presenter: Jeremey Thompson

Join us Wednesday, April 16, from 12-3 pm in John M. Kuehne Physics Mathematics Astronomy Library (PMA 4.200) for our STEM Zine Pop-Up Workshop!
Zines offer a creative way for STEM students to practice and improve their science communication skills while considering their research from a fresh perspective. Take this chance to create a zine (which you can take home!) focused on your research topic, an assignment, or any other aspect of your studies. Alternatively, you can create a zine as a study aid for finals. Artistic skills not required, and supplies will be provided, as well as examples for inspiration.
This event is geared toward the UT STEM community (undergraduate and graduate students and researchers) but is open to all students. This is a come-and-go event. No prior registration is required.
Location: John M. Kuehne Physics Mathematics Astronomy (PMA) Library, Journals Room
Address: 2515 Speedway Austin, Texas 78713
The recent decades have seen unprecedented interest in the history of Middle Eastern/West Asian/Islamic libraries. Much of the scholarship has focused on a wide range of documents: from endowment deeds, ownership notes and inventories.
Join us Monday, April 21, from 12-2 pm in PCL Learning Lab 3 for The Library of Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar: A Reading Workshop. In this workshop with Dr. Guy Burak (Librarian for Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies at NYU), participants will look at several eighteenth-century inventories from the Arabic-speaking provinces of the Ottoman Empire and explore potential uses of these documents for the intellectual, political and legal history of the Middle East and, more broadly, the Islamic world.
This in-person workshop is free and open to the public.
Location: PCL Learning Lab 3, PCL 2.350
