University of Oklahoma Libraries opened their Innovation @ the Edge in January 2016. The laboratory focuses on visualization technologies, with a strong focus on virtual reality (HTC/VIVE and Oculus Rift) in support of research and pedagogy. The laboratory has been very successful and is helping to connect a growing number of the university community to the library, is generating state and national press and attention to our efforts and catching the eye of donors. In this session we’ll share our experiences to date including metrics on usage, what we’ve learned about incorporating the technology into courses across the campus, lessons learned and how we’re adjusting our plans for the future growth of the laboratory as a result.

The scenario is familiar: a faculty member launches a digital initiative that immediately draws media attention. It includes rare or unique scholarly content and some innovative tools or interfaces. What model will best support this project for the long term, as it continues to grow? In this session, we will share a project update of the Freedom of Information Archive (FOIA), the world’s largest aggregation of declassified U.S. government documents, developed by historian Matt Connelly and his colleagues at Columbia’s History Lab. The project is at an important crossroads: What will it take to transition an initiative from a labor of love developed by a small and devoted team, to something embraced by and valuable to a large community? Recent discussions among Association of Research Libraries members have focused on how community goods can be supported, and how to determine when an initiative has become worthy of this support. This session will explore these questions through the lens of the FOIA. Panelists will share perspectives from faculty, libraries, and publishers concerning the values and tradeoffs of the different approaches under consideration.
