Abstract

The creation of digital content is increasingly expected in higher education for both students and faculty, but campus facilities supporting this work are often inaccessible to the community. By implementing digital media labs—spaces that house the technology to create digital content—academic libraries can position themselves to meet this need for their patrons. This article presents a case study of implementing a digital media lab at a mid-sized regional comprehensive university, the planning that went into it, the lessons learned, and how the experiences can inform other academic libraries interested in implementing a similar service.

实施数字媒体实验室：定义空间和服务的需求和规划

摘要

在高等教育中，学生和教师越来越期待数字内容的创建，但社区通常无法使用支持这项工作的校园设施。通过实施数字媒体实验室——容纳创建数字内容的技术的空间——学术图书馆可以定位自己以满足顾客的这种需求。本文介绍了在中型地区综合性大学实施数字媒体实验室的案例研究、其中的规划、吸取的经验教训以及这些经验如何为其他有兴趣实施类似服务的学术图书馆提供参考。
