*Andrew & Patrick's talk: *Visualizing Scholarship in Library Spaces

Brown University Library opened the Digital Scholarship Lab
<http://library.brown.edu/dsl/#info> in Fall 2012. The Lab features an
ultra-high resolution display wall, touch-enabled devices, and the
capability to combine content from many devices simultaneously [check it
out in this video <http://vimeo.com/53156593>!]. While the initial
conception for the Lab focused heavily on data visualization techniques
that leverage the wall's size and resolution, other uses of the facilities
have proven surprising and enlightening, and have helped to broaden our
conception of how data, digital content, digital scholarship, pedagogy, and
physical spaces intersect. This talk will provide an overview and critical
reflection on our experiences thus far.



Andy Ashton is the Associate University Librarian for Digital Technologies
at Brown University Library. He leads a group of librarians, developers,
and technologists devoted to supporting and exploring the intersection of
digital library technologies with teaching and research at the university.
In addition to general oversight of library technology, he oversees the
development of tools, services, and facilities to support emerging modes of
scholarship. He has previously worked at Radio Free Asia and Skidmore
College, and has degrees in Music, American History, and Information
Science.
Patrick Rashleigh is the Data Visualization Coordinator at the Brown
University Library, where he creates, teaches, supports, and advocates for
visual scholarship. He also oversees the Patrick Ma Digital Scholarship
Lab, a space for experimenting with large-format imagery and collaborative
processes.
Patrick has an extended interest in engaging with faculty and the
educational community around the use of technology in the curriculum. He
was selected to participate in the NEH "One Week | One Tool" institute that
yielded Anthologize (2010), which enables scholars to format and publish
their academic blogs as e-books. He is a founding member and coordinated
the user experience design of the TAPAS Project, a platform for publishing,
archiving, and visualizing scholarly texts encoded in the TEI standard.
Prior to working in higher education, Patrick was the Senior New Media
coordinator for the Attorney General of Ontario, overseeing the ministry
website and electronic communications. He has a Bachelor of Arts in English
Literature and a Masters of Arts in Ethnomusicology.
