Smart Library

The Smart Library Project is looking at ways of enhancing and encouraging academic library usage via implementing smart and interactive technologies in existing library spaces.

Ultimately assessing how the perceived complexity of the library experience can simplified by augmenting conventional foot searches with a number of existing physical computing, screen based, collaborative and locative technologies.

Aims

Enhancing the Library experience at Huddersfield University, as a model case.

Guiding and encouraging creative technology students (Multimedia, VR, Smart Design) to develop prototypes of concepts discussed within the framework of the project research areas.

Publishing research findings and extending partnership with professional research bodies.
