Planning Strategies:
Diverse Visions
Shared goals of all collaborative spaces:
• Deliver content and services related to
digital technology (networking)
• Institute collaboration among various
units or professional groups in planning
and staffing

Diverse Visions:
U. of Tennessee’s Digital Media Service
“The Office of Research and Information Technology (ORIT) and the
UT Libraries have joined to create the Digital Media Service (DMS).”
“The goal of DMS is to become the "one-stop shop" for digital media
needs on campus. The primary role of DMS is digitization, storage,
and delivery of audio, video, images, and text. DMS also assists
customers in securing copyright permissions and offers referrals to
related media production and technology services.”

Diverse Visions:
Vassar’s Media Cloisters
The Cloisters serves as the "public sphere" for networked interaction, the gathering place
for students, professors, and librarians engaged in planning, evaluating, and
reviewing the efforts of research and study utilizing the whole range of technologies
of literacy. In this way, the Cloisters channels flows of research, learning and teaching
between the increasingly networked world of the library and the intimacy and
engagementof our classrooms and other campus spaces.
In the Cloisters, course development, class-based projects, and research necessarily
become communal, interactive processes, engaging colleagues, students,
information specialists, and a networked world of like-minded scholars, artists and
media practitioners in active "programming" and explorations.
