Through course collaborations, students drew inspiration from the library’s extensive collections to create their own works. The CW prototype #2 explores how the Collection Wall can become a co-curated source of knowledge for academic pursuits across campus. The creative results are now showcased on the Wall, offering an interactive experience for the visitors. The authors’ names and photos are prominently featured, celebrating the students’ contributions.

Collection Wall prototype #1 integrates screens within shelves to display data from online repositories, merging digital and physical academic collections. Users can scan books and tokens to receive digital recommendations, focusing on master theses, dissertations, and faculty-nominated “Best Graduate” publications. Historic dissertations are paired with related physical objects from the Academic Heritage collection, displayed in vitrines and linked using AI-generated keywords. At the core is the interactive Oracle 2.0 application, which uses machine learning to cluster and recommend similar publications, allowing users to explore timelines, filter by faculty, and visualize interdisciplinary connections.
The XR Cone is a proof-of-concept station designed to visualize and navigate our nonstandard format collections, such as videos, maps, and 3D scans. It transforms the floors of the central cone into shelves of animated visualizations. In a single XR experience, users can interact with collections which are otherwise dispersed across various websites and have limited physical presence. This prototype is part of the Collection Wall project explorations.
