GMU Digital Scholarship Center
George Mason University has a great Digital Scholarship Center (DiSC)! A lot of students participating in the Celebration of Student Scholarship might have to make a visual representation of their collected data for the first time. DiSC has a variety of helpful workshops on collecting and looking at data and other libguides specifically for data visualization and digital humanities software. For the purposes of this video presentation at the Celebration of Student Scholarship, we recommend looking at the Digital Humanities page.
Resources to check out:
We recommend the following two libguides to undergraduate students working on digital scholarship for the first time. The first is a libguide that focuses on data visualization and gives great comprehensive guides to dos and don'ts when showing your research visually. The second is link to the libguide for software for digital scholarship, which gives links and explanations for all the software available for student use.
We also recommend looking at the various workshop slides that are available on the Digital Scholarship Center site. These are the slides that are used during the live workshops, available 24/7 for your perusal. We recommend at least browsing the "Surviving a Data Analysis Project" workshop slides, especially for students who have not done one before.

Check out all their helpful information!
