In a ceremony on May 9 in the Patrick Ma Digital Scholarship Lab, the Brown University Library awarded\u00a0the winner of the 2014 Library Innovation Prize to Michael Rowland ’15<\/strong>.

Michael describes his winning creation: \u201cThe app has two main functions. It is able to generate citation information via scanning a barcode (either ISBN or Brown Library) that can be easily emailed to the user. Additionally, it provides recommendations for similar books using previous checkout information from the Brown libraries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serving as judges for the competition were two faculty members: Jo Guldi, Assistant Professor of History, and Tom Doeppner, Associate Professor of Computer Science; a graduate student in the Department of Music: Chris Johnson-Roberson; and the Associate University Librarian for Digital Technologies: Andrew Ashton.<\/p>\n
