    • Digital Scholarship Lab: The Patrick Ma Digital Scholarship Lab is Brown University Library’s newest space, designed for varied collaboration, flexibility, and ease of use. It features a 7 by 16 foot-high resolution display wall, a video switcher that allows up to 12 laptops’ video outputs to be displayed on the wall simultaneously, two portable 55-inch touch-enabled monitors, a videoconferencing system, and a high definition sound system.
    • Renovating the John Hay Library (Special Collections): Revitalization of this historic landmark will include a refurbishment of the magnificent first floor reading room into an open, welcoming study space for students; the creation of a new state-of-the-art special collections reading room in the area which formerly housed University Archives; improvements to the service and exhibit areas in the Central Hall of the first floor; addition of a student lounge and conference room; handicapped access to the front of the Library and code compliance and fire safety improvements throughout the building.
    • easyBorrow: Search once — let us find it!  This is a system created at Brown which starts a user in Worldcat and programmatically directs requests for items to our local catalog, to either of our two direct borrowing services, or ultimately to ILLiad.  Patrons do not have to choose what service to use.
