CURVE, An Exciting New Library Space Coming in 2014 LIBRARY EVERYWHERE Web, Mobile & Live Assistance: library.gsu.edu Phone: 404-413-2800 Blog: library.gsu.edu/blog Facebook: library.gsu.edu/fb Twitter: @gsu_library E-mail: libref@gsu.edu This semester you will notice some big changes happening on the 2nd floor of Library South. Construction is well underway for CURVE, an ambitious and innovative project to create a technology-rich discovery space in Georgia State University Library. When completed later this summer, CURVE (Collaborative University Research & Visualization Environment) will bring together students and expert researchers from all disciplines in a hands-on, interactive environment that will facilitate knowledge creation through the visualization and sharing of data. CURVE will encourage collaborations across the entire campus community – undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers from multiple disciplines – in dynamic and visual ways that will foster new connections with spatial and numeric data, digital media, human narrative, and the arts. The centerpiece technology, an immersive, high-resolution touch wall (CURVE “interactWall”) will facilitate collaborative inquiry on a large scale, and multiple high-end workstations (PC, Mac, and Linux) will provide researchers with the computing power to analyze and visualize data in exciting new ways. Completion of CURVE is scheduled for the summer, with an official opening of the facility for Fall 2014 semester. Details about CURVE can be found at the CURVE planning site at http://bit.ly/curvegsu and additional images can be found on the CURVE Pinterest Board at http://bit.ly/curvepics.
