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.

Panel: The Architectural Touch: Gestural Approaches To Library Search, Andreas Kratky, Virginia Kuhn, Susan Luftschein, Michaela Ullmann

Digital Initiatives Symposium

This panel centers on the LibViz project—a touch and gesture-based interface that allows users to navigate through library collections using visual queries—and the issues surrounding such efforts.
