  4. Prototyping Focus Groups CURVE CURVE

  5. A new type of technology-rich discovery space to be located in the Georgia State University Library that brings together: • undergraduate researchers, graduate students, and expert researchers from multiple disciplines in a shared, hands-on, interactive environment • engaged learners and researchers with an interest in making new connections with spatial and numeric data, digital media, human narrative, and the arts • 21st century investigators who seek to bridge quantitative and qualitative methods, creativity, and diverse modes of inquiry CURVE

  6. and… • expert assistance from subject librarians and research specialists in a central campus location • visualization software and hardware, large-scale displays, and the latest “digital canvases for collaboration” • access to specialty software packages for GIS, quantitative, qualitative, and statistical data analysis; • the latest geospatial and visualization tools for analyzing the complex challenges of cities • one-on-one and group consultations; workshops and class instruction; guest lectures and presentations CURVE

  7. Facility • Library South 2 • 3,300 square feet of highly-visible space enclosed by a glass wall within the University Library; 66 occupants • Swipe-card (PantherCard) access for all qualified Georgia State students, faculty, and staff • individualized assistance supporting student research success; available during scheduled hours and by appointment Cost • ~1.1 Million Tech Fee Innovation Fund, Library, Campus, 2CI, IS&T CURVE

  14. Objectives: Research CURVE will enhance Georgia State University research by connectingresearchers, technology, and data, in one collaborative space. Researchers will have access to: • vast collections of data sets for analyzing urban spaces and global connections • software, hardware, and visualization and analytical applications • expert staff to assist with data discovery and the innovative use of data collections and statistical and spatial applications CURVE

  15. Objectives: Learning Georgia State students utilizing this space, personnel, and services will be able to: • understand the types research tools and software available • gainknowledge of powerful software available to them to accomplish specific goals • acquire hands-oncomputational and spatial literacy skills; • work across disciplines and make new connections outside of the classroom • gain valuable experience working closely with librarians and researchers on research design, methodology, and data analysis CURVE
