Creating Digital Knowledge: Library As Open Access Digital Publisher, D. Russell Bailey
Creating Digital Knowledge: Library As Open Access Digital Publisher, D. Russell Bailey
Library Faculty and Staff papers
Since the mid-1990s, many higher education libraries have evolved from the traditional roles of primarily (1) research resource purchasers and providers and (2) research service providers into new, enhanced, and complementary digital age roles related to digital open access knowledge creation and digital publishing, creating digital resources for open education. This article presents a brief description of open access digital knowledge creation, the library publishing landscape (particularly in Digital Humanities/DH), as well as several model higher education library approaches and example initiatives in these areas.

Library Faculty and Staff papers
This chapter describes an innovative implementation of the use of iPad kiosks to blur the lines between physical and virtual library collections.

A small group of library staff tested, discussed, and vetted a variety of apps that would be deployed on the iPads to be lent out. Efforts were made to promote the use and discovery …

Creating Digital Art History: Library, Student, And Faculty Collaboration, D. Russell Bailey
Creating Digital Art History: Library, Student, And Faculty Collaboration, D. Russell Bailey
Library Faculty and Staff papers
Over the last two decades, teaching, learning, and research in higher education have developed a growing digital presence. Digital development in the humanities has been slow relative to most other areas in academia, and with some exceptions, art and art history have enjoyed slow digital growth within the humanities. Within this environment, the article here presents one collaborative model for digital art history, rare in its exclusive focus on undergraduate “junior scholars”. Undergraduate senior-level art history and studio art students at Providence College collaborate annually with art history and studio art faculty to publish their senior theses in print format …

While the Digital Public Library of America/DPLA is neither magical, unique nor technologically advanced, when compared with many other current digital knowledge initiatives or other private and governmental enterprises (scientific, research, manufacturing and communication), still the DPLA’s promises for the future boldly evidence all of these robust “magical” powers and energies and even more. The development of an open access world digital library is the grand promise in this grand strategic goal of the DPLA and its global partners.

The 2020+ Project: Using Wordpress To Organize, Evaluate, & Discuss The College Of The Future, Julie A. Decesare, Hailie D. Posey, Julia R. Tryon

Two Rooms And A Concept [Nercomp, June 5, 2007], Elizabeth Tilley
Library Commons
Providing a collaborative learning space with appropriate services and resources for our undergraduate clientele, but with just two physical rooms, a limited budget and the commons concept to guide our decisions, was challenging. The context and mission of the Library within the University were important considerations and the theoretical and practical drivers for change as they relate to our goals and aims will be examined. Creativity in the use of space and clear, focused project management were also key factors in creating a successful Commons environment. The results of the changes made, and an assessment and evaluation of the project …

Some features of the Commons have been immediately successful, while others are changing to increase usage. Reference staff and student technology …

Some are new facilities, well-planned and financed, elaborately implemented, and well-resourced. Some, at the other end of the spectrum, are more concept than physical reality, but still provide, however minimally or incrementally, some of the …
