Nelson Institute Graduate Student Orientation : Campus Partners

Just like we share information, we also sometimes share our physical spaces.  Some space may not be physically located in libraries, but will offer library resources or services. This list is not exhaustive, but is geared more towards science and engineering students.

Data Science Hub: Located in the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, the Data Science Hub offers consultations, workshops, communities, and events to support data exploration in any field. Stay informed—subscribe to the Data Science @ UW newsletter!

Center for High Throughput Computing: UW-Madison core computational service provider for large scale computing. CHTC services are open to UW-Madison staff, students, faculty, and external collaborators. They offer both a High Throughput Computing system and a High Performance Computing cluster. Access to CPUs/GPUs, high-memory servers, data storage capacity, as well as personalized consultations and classroom support, are provided at no-cost.

Research Cyberinfrastructure: DoIT’s Research Cyberinfrastructure (RCI) provides research computing services that include cloud computing, electronic lab notebooks, data storage, secure data transfer, and collaborative coding environments.

DoIT InfoLabs: There are eighteen general access computer labs conveniently located across campus, many of them located in library spaces.  The labs offer Internet access and word processing, design, spreadsheet, statistical and course-specific software. The labs also offer color printers, scanners and digital editing resources. 

Active learning classrooms: Technology-enhanced active learning classrooms are available in Wendt Commons (hosted by the Collaboratory for Engineering Education and Teaching Excellence) and College Library (hosted by the Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring).

BioCommons: The BioCommons is located at UW-Madison's Steenbock Memorial Library. The community space and its associated online resources are a joint Educational Innovation initiative of WISCIENCE and Steenbock Library. The BioCommons is a home base where undergraduates interested in the biological sciences can find information, events, opportunities, and services tailored to their unique needs and get help navigating the wide array of biology options at UW-Madison.

Design Lab: DesignLab is a digital media design consultancy service for students at UW-Madison, located in College Library, with a satellite location in Steenbock Library . Through one-on-one or small group consultations, we help students work effectively in digital media. We focus on the conceptual, aesthetic, and overall design of projects for class assignments, student organizations, independent projects, and personal professional development.

Writing Center:  Help for undergraduate and graduate writers at any stage of the writing process. 

GUTS: GUTS Drop-In tutors can be found at College Library and Steenbock Library. Tutors are typically scheduled for 2-hour shifts.
