Digital Media Lab Now Open
Due to the high demand and increase in using digital media content in the classroom and at the University, the Otto G. Richter library has provided a startup facility. The Digital Media Lab is a unique collaboration between the University and Digital Media staff at the Otto G. Richter Library that want to provide students, faculty, and staff with a location for enhancing instruction and research through digitized audio and video.
The Digital Media Lab provides media equipment, software, computers, and user assistance for the creation of media-enhanced instructional products in a centralized facility for digital and video content. Services are available to all students, faculty, and staff of the University of Miami by appointment only. The types of digital media projects that can be done through the media lab range from website design, DVD production, animation, photo design, and video editing.
One of the many advantages of this facility will be the ability for faculty and staff to request assistance with a digital media content project that is being worked on at the University of Miami. It will also allow students the ability to utilize computers and software with the power to edit/create digital media content for classroom projects.
If you’re interested in learning more about the Digital Media Lab, please feel free to visit the website at http://digital.library.miami.edu/medialab or contact the Digital Media Projects Manager, Fabian Rodriguez, via e-mail at frodriguez@miami.edu . The lab is available by appointment only so please visit the website and fill out a form or contact Rodriguez for a tour.
