2018 Charleston Library Conference

R. M. Cooper Library at Clemson University transformed a large portion of its 5th floor collection to the Adobe Digital Studio, a multimedia studio, that students and faculty use for creative media and visual projects. To prepare the space, an aggressive timeline was established by the Collection Management Team to remove approximately 45,150 monographs and serials from the shelves within 14-weeks. The accuracy and speed in completing this project, initiated the adoption of new standards for future deselection and relocation projects. The Adobe Digital Studio is a popular multimedia studio that offers robust audio/video technologies to create innovative projects for students and faculty. This presentation is in three parts: 1) A hearty review of the discard and relocation project; 2) the launch and current use of the Adobe Digital Studio; 3) and the lessons learned and how it shaped current and future projects.
