University of California, Santa Cruz

The University Library at University of California, Santa Cruz will develop a suite of services to support digital exhibit building by faculty and students and, in so doing, create documentation that can be applied and adapted by research libraries across the country. This project responds to the need for libraries to articulate the limits of their support for research-based digital exhibits and offers innovative responses to specific challenges in this area. The project will provide support for exhibit development and creation at all stages, allow for a more nimble response to requests for custom-built exhibits by differentiating aspects of exhibit building and offering a la carte support services, and integrate virtual and physical space through the use of touchscreen technologies and hybrid exhibits.
