Abstract:
My Master’s project examined the changing roles of academic libraries in the
face of immense technological development. I examined various models of
integrating multimedia artwork into the library setting in order to explore
programming options that foster new kinds of engagement and learning by
patrons. My research incorporated both domestic and international case studies
of academic libraries. Reflecting on case study findings and overarching themes
related to my inquiry, recommendations for best facilitating digital art in the
University of Oregon Knight Library are provided.
