# Skills

Digital Scholarship can sometimes require more complex skills, such as coding and using more intricate tools, such as ArcGIS. There are a number of educational opportunities for gaining such skills, including [BC Libraries workshops](https://libcal.bc.edu/calendar/workshops?cid=2424\&t=d\&d=0000-00-00\&cal=2424\&ct=27652,24778\&inc=0) and the [BCDS Learn site](https://bcds.gitbook.io/learn/), which has tutorials based on workshops, among other resources. Some learning opportunities outside of BC include:
