Abstract

This article leverages an innovative maker program at the University of Southern California Libraries to explore how academic libraries are uniquely positioned to partner with student researchers to unite experimental modes of digital scholarly communication with a maker ethos. Focusing on one instance of the program, the result of which was a novel, research-driven annotated VR experience of a terraformed Mars, the author argues that academic libraries, and innovation labs within those libraries, can foster experimental scholarly communications, with students and others, by advancing key partnerships across campus and by providing a potent mixture of space, technology, and in-house digital literacy skills.

摘要

本文利用南加州大学图书馆的创新创客计划来探索学术图书馆如何独特地与学生研究人员合作，将数字学术交流的实验模式与创客精神结合起来。关注该计划的一个实例，其结果是一种新颖的、研究驱动的、带注释的火星地球化 VR 体验，作者认为，学术图书馆和这些图书馆内的创新实验室可以促进实验性学术交流，与学生和其他，通过推进整个校园的关键合作伙伴关系，并通过提供空间、技术和内部数字素养技能的有效组合。
