Edited by Christine Elliott, Marie Rose, and Jolanda-Pieta van Arnhem
Proposal Deadline: December 21, 2016
Chapter Deadline: January 16, 2017
Many libraries face the problem of wanting to integrate new technologies into their services, but lack the information to help them get started. With the widespread use and popularity of Pokemon Go, augmented reality is a fantastic technological concept that libraries can easily use for enhancing existing services.
Chapters are being accepted on real-life applications of augmented reality (AR) in academic and public libraries that show librarians how they can easily augment materials, displays, lesson plans, and more to incorporate a new level of interactivity to existing services and activities.
Relevant topics include:
· Defining Augmented Reality, its history, and listing the tools available
· Case studies
· Assessment
This LITA guide aims to provide librarians with and without AR experience with the tools, knowledge and real world examples to incorporate a new level of interactivity into existing Library services and activities.
The book is currently drafted to be divided into the following chapters:
· About Augmented Reality
o History of AR
o Tools available (paid and free)
§ Reviews and explanations
o Literature Review
· Public Libraries (case studies)
o Research/Lit Reviews
