If you have a mission statement or similar description of your program, please include it here:

The Edge: The Ruppert Commons for Research, Technology, and Collaboration extends Duke University Libraries’ mission by providing a collaborative space for interdisciplinary, data-driven, digitally reliant or team-based research. Located on the renovated first floor of Bostock Library, the Edge brings together resources and expertise to help Duke researchers innovate, in a space that invites discovery, experimenting, and collaboration.

The Ruppert Commons for Research, Technology and Collaboration (also known as “The Edge”) meets the growing needs of interdisciplinary, team-based, and data-driven research at Duke. Open since January 2015, The Edge is equipped with tools and workspaces for digital scholarship, reservable rooms for project teams, expanded technology and training facilities, and programming that encourages connection among the disciplines. We encourage all members of the Duke community to come to The Edge to explore our facilities and services:

  • Events and workshops based around faculty, student and staff research
  • Expertise on data visualization, analysis, and management in the Data Visualization Lab
  • Informal event and project workspace in the Digital Studio
  • Reservable, technology-enhanced project rooms for collaborative work
  • Flexible, open seating areas
  • Whiteboard walls for easy brainstorming

Plans for the Ruppert Commons came about through a multi-year planning process in which faculty, students, and library staff explored how Duke researchers are increasingly conducting their work in the context of interdisciplinary collaborations and digital production.

What would you like to offer next?

Extend project management services (from consultation and training to
assistance)

  • As part of Duke’s strategic vision for research
    (https://president.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Duke2030_FinalReport.pdf), there is a call to “create a cadre of project managers to facilitate the success of complex projects.” Many of these projects are, by definition,
    cross-disciplinary and technological in nature, and require broad access to resources and expertise. There is also an acute need for such guidance when projects are in early or prototype phases and have not yet acquired sufficient funding to hire a dedicated project manager. We are working with campus partners to address this need and also looking for ways that we can strengthen and extend our own project management expertise.

Expand and scale data services to meet the needs of campus researchers

  • As part of Duke’s strategic vision for research (https://president.duke.edu/wpcontent/uploads/2022/04/Duke2030_FinalReport.pdf), there is a call to “expand access to data science resources.” The Libraries has services and expertise that are already well regarded, but lacks capacity to meet the campus need. We are working with campus partners to explore ways to creatively fund and sustain this work.
