The University Library as a partner in research projects

The University Library supports, maintains and develops digital services related to research, the Library's collections and library services. We help researchers at the University of Bergen with digital project infrastructure and offer training in digital tools and methods.

From data to publication – support throughout the research project

The University Library supports researchers at the University of Bergen in developing digital research infrastructure and provides access to publishing services at the University of Bergen. We help you find good solutions for how data and results can be managed, shared and published.

If you want to develop research infrastructure or explore publishing options for your dataset, we recommend an early dialogue with us. Together we can plan how your data should be handled throughout your project, and how it can best be preserved and made available after the project has ended.

Feel free to contact the group leader for digital infrastructures and research data to discuss the technical options available and how the University Library can contribute as a collaborative partner.

Areas of work

Infrastructure and research projects

At the University Library you gain a collaborative partner with experience from a range of infrastructure projects and close cooperation with researchers at the University of Bergen.

If you would like to involve us in a project, we recommend that you get in touch early in the application process to strengthen the project right from the start.

Examples of projects and infrastructures:

Technical and academic support for researchers and PhD candidates

At the University Library you gain access to digital services and infrastructure that support your research. We maintain and further develop text archives, publishing solutions and digital tools that make it easier for you to work with, share and communicate research.

We also offer advice and guidance on managing and making research data available. The University of Bergen has as a goal that data resulting from research activity is prepared and made available for reuse in line with the FAIR principles. Open access to research data contributes to greater visibility, transparency and reproducibility, and facilitates further use and new research. In this way the value and reach of your research project can be strengthened, while you receive recognition as a data creator through clear crediting.

Our services function as technical support system for researchers and PhD candidates throughout the research process.

Relevant services:

Collections and digital exhibitions

At the University Library you gain access to unique collections, both digitally and in the Library's premises. We make the material available online and develop digital solutions that make it easier to explore and use the collections in research and communication.

In the special collections you will find rich and varied material: historical photographs, antiquarian documents, queer histories, a Nynorsk word bank and much more. You can explore all of this through our digital platform: Marcus.

Our material forms the basis for a range of exhibitions used in various projects. At the Library of Humanities we also have exhibition areas that welcome visitors directly in the foyer. If you use our collections in a project, we are happy to work with you to present the material in new ways in digital exhibitions, enhancing the visibility of both the work and the material and extending their longevity.
