The topics are highly relevant to the tools and methods we use in class. In addition, the Institute for Digital Research and Education offers <a href=\"https:\/\/idre.ucla.edu\/resources\/gis-visualization\/trainings-and-workshops\">workshops by request<\/a>, mostly on mapping topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-person help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several places on campus where you can get technical help by making an appointment or stopping by. The Library&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.ucla.edu\/location\/data-science-center\">Data Science Center<\/a> is such a great resource for data-cleaning, stats, coding, and mapping help, and you can <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/data-science-team\">book an appointment online<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For visualization and mapping help, you can make an appointment with one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/idre.ucla.edu\/gis-visualization-modeling-consulting\">Institute for Digital Research and Education&#8217;s consultants<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UCLA&#8217;s Digital Scholarship Librarian, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.library.ucla.edu\/staff\/zoe-borovsky\">Zoe Borovsky<\/a>, can help you get access to data, and also knows about many tools and technologies that could be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Various other people are often willing to help out if we ask nicely. Talk to me if you can&#8217;t find the help you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My two favorite subscription-only resources are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the <a href=\"https:\/\/proquest.safaribooksonline.com\/\">Safari library of ebooks<\/a> on technical topics. These books are very expensive to purchase, but we get access through UCLA.<\/li><li>the Lynda library of videos, which you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lynda.com\/portal\/sip?org=lapl.org\">can access with an LA Public Library card<\/a>. These are fantastic, helpful videos. However, the Lynda situation has recently gotten a little complicated. As of September 2019, LinkedIn, which acquired Lynda, has rebranded the collection LinkedIn Learning and has talked about requiring users to use their LinkedIn account to login. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ala.org\/news\/member-news\/2019\/07\/ala-urges-linkedin-learning-reconsider-changes-terms-service-impair-library\">For privacy reasons, many libraries oppose this change<\/a>, and many libraries may unsubscribe from the service. As of now, however, you can still log in to LinkedIn Learning with an LAPL account and without a LinkedIn account.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are actually a lot of digital humanities resources at UCLA, but sometimes you have to hunt a little, since they&#8217;re not really centralized.
