All are invited to tour the Sidney E. Frank Digital Studio in the Rockefeller Library during Family Weekend on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The new Sidney E. Frank Digital Studio, which opened in May of this year, was built to encourage students, faculty, and staff to engage in innovative forms and methods of digital scholarship using facilities that include a video and audio production suite, large format printer, a 3D scanner, and a full-color 3D printer.
Students, faculty, and staff have already printed 3D models of optic neurons and the interior of the Sistine Chapel, recorded interviews and podcasts, shot video lectures, and printed original digital art.
During the open house on October 22, several members of the Library’s Center for Digital Scholarship will showcase these technologies, along with several other examples of projects developed in collaboration with Brown students and faculty that employ such approaches as computational text analysis, data visualization, and GIS.
Come by for a tour and talk and see what libraries have been up to lately!
