This pilot project Accessing the Garibaldi panorama through a Microsoft Surface, users can explore and examine the Library\u2019s double-sided 270 foot linear painting depicting the life and times of the Italian liberator, along with a wide array of pre-selected historically and culturally relevant digital documents from the Garibaldi \/ Risorgimento digital archive (<a href=\"http:\/\/dl.lib.brown.edu\/garibaldi\/\">http:\/\/dl.lib.brown.edu\/garibaldi\/<\/a>).  Researchers can zoom in and out on specific scenes, listen to a voice-over narration in both Italian and English, access embedded documents, and read explanatory notes about characters and events depicted in the panorama. <\/p>\n<p>This project is one of several collaborative investigations by the Computer Science-Library-Italian Studies team at Brown that examine how tactile computing can facilitate discovery and exploration of archival materials and provide a better understanding of the research process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brown University \u201cGaribaldi on the Surface\u201d project is featured in the British Library\u2019s exhibition, Growing Knowledge \u2013 the Evolution of Research (12 October 2010 \u2013 16 July 2011), which showcases some of the latest research tools, content and spaces that will transform research in the 21st century.
