The Libraries provide pedagogical support for the exploration of new technologies and digital collections which expand scholarship and making.

Student Projects
The student and faculty works page showcases digital scholarship produced by students and faculty at the college, in collaboration with the Libraries. In addition to showcasing work, our goal is to bring projects from across the college's programs into dialogue with one another.

Digital Tools
Recent Library/Faculty Collaborations
The iPad + Apple Pencil Project, led by the Design Division, in collaboration with the Libraries, is a multi-year project geared towards further developing the CCA Digital Tools Program. In academic year 2017-'18 we piloted the tool in several courses, collecting assignments and selected student work, culminating in an exhibition in Simpson Library. We are moving into the next phase of the project, rolling it out as a service to the rest of the college, and developing curricula specific to working on the iPad with Apple pencil.
For a second year, students in the Media History course "Craft as Social Justice” curated online exhibitions using Google Sites, this time led by faculty Maria Porges. The class shared their work in a library exhibition.

Experimenting with the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil, students in Leslie Roberts' Graduate Creative Nonfiction Writing Workshop wrote essays inspired by Virginia Woolf's "Street Haunting," took photos and video footage of their neighborhoods, and integrated all into visual essays using Adobe Spark Page.
