Scheduled to open in February, the Rockefeller Library’s Digital Studio will offer flexible work stations, 3D modelling equipment, and an audio/video recording suite. As University Librarian Harriette Hemmasi told The Brown Daily Herald this past September, the new space is intended to be “a production space for individual and collaborative scholarship.”

Following a somewhat different model than other media labs on campus, the Library’s Digital Studio will be a place where faculty and students from all the disciplines are actively encouraged to mingle, share their experiences, and learn through a series of workshops and project showcases.

Faculty and students can expect an exciting calendar of events ranging from hackathons, designed to remix and rethink special collections items, to trainings on a/v equipment and software. They can also expect to receive help on their digital projects from staff experts in everything from data curation and visualization, to developing new kinds of online publications.

During the Digital Studio’s first year of operation, the Library will test new programs and services based on feedback from users. We look forward to welcoming you into the space soon!
