Immersive Scholar Guidebook

[Micah Vandegrift]

Hello all, 

I'm pleased to announce the release of a "guidebook" from the Immersive Scholar project. Our blurb is pasted below, and the book is available in POD for $8 or as a PDF/EPUB for $0.

All of the outcomes from the grant are listed on this wiki, including open source software and web applications designed specifically for large-scale visualizations, guidelines and good practices for assessing the technical aspects of this kind of work, and a framework for planning visualization environments. Please feel free to peruse and send along any questions. 

Immersive Scholar: A Guidebook for Documenting and Publishing Experiential Scholarship Works offers a model for librarians, technologists, and scholars collaborating on the production of new forms of scholarly projects, particularly those designed for large scale or immersive spaces. Born from Immersive Scholar, a three-year grant to the NC State University Libraries from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the case studies and principles laid out in this guidebook highlight pragmatic and non-technical opportunities for integrating experiential scholarship within the current scholarly ecosystem. Borrowing from the literature and ideas of digital humanities, open science, software preservation, and academic publishing, the authors present a perspective balanced between theory and application. This guidebook, paired with other resources from Immersive Scholar, forms the foundation of a toolkit for the conceptualization, building, displaying, and sharing of scholarship in the broad and varied world of large scale, visual, immersive, and experimental work.

Hope y'all are well, and happy weekend. 

Micah V.
