A digital tool valuable to all researchers is having an ORCID id. See details on the benefits and how to get one in our Researcher Profiles guide.

The RMIT University Library does not employ specialists in every digital tool. If you require more advanced resources than those in this guide, there are many strategies you can use to locate additional materials.

• If the tools you are interested in have been in use for a few years, search in LibrarySearch for manuals and guides in book or e-book form.
• Consult the webpage of the creator of the tool. They will often have both introductory and advanced technical materials about their products.
• Search for resources created by third parties. Using a search engine, look for websites or video content that offer instructions and tips.
• Locate online communities that are using the tools. Discussion boards such as Reddit or social media platforms may have active groups that are using digital tools and are willing to share expertise.
