Open research team

The Library’s Open Research Team provides guidance on research data management, open research, including open access publishing and repositories, copyright and bibliometrics. The team delivers workshops on these themes within the Research Culture and Researcher Development programme. For more information, visit the Open Research Team web page for contact details or to book an appointment.

Faculty Librarians

Your Faculty Librarians are your main contact in the Library. Talk to your Librarian about your research; they can point you in the direction of the best resources available (at York and in other UK/international libraries) and can order new resources for you.

To book a one-to-one appointment with your Librarian, and to access subject-specific resources and guidance, click on your department’s name on the Subject Guides website.

Research computing

All researchers use computers at some point in the research process and IT Services provide a wide range of services and support, from email to Tier 3 High Performance Computing. The Research IT team provides training and one-to-one support so that you can make the most of the systems and resources provided at York. Whatever your level of experience, help is on hand to get you started and choose the right tools for your research or project. 

Our ‘Viking’ high performance cluster has been designed to meet a wide mix of research requirements, no matter what subject you study. Viking is free for all researchers to use, including postgraduate researchers.

Designed with the aim of making research easier, faster and more productive, our systems and resources could be of use to all researchers. To discuss what help we can provide, contact IT Support.
