UC Merced Library
“The library will have a café and allow food and beverages in the stacks and reading areas…Large, flat-screen digital monitors may hang like picture frames on the walls, displaying information or images from the digitized special collections.”
“The Birth of a Research University,” CHE, v.51, Issue 30, p. A24

Virtual 3-D Models in the Library
It is 2012 and most research libraries are now outfitted with real-time, immersive theaters…”Users of the theater feel as if they are right in the middle of the subject of their study - be it ancient Rome, the three stable members of the C2H4O Group of isotomers, the interacting galaxy NBC 4038/9 in Corvus, or the geological stratigraphy of Mars. At will, users can fly over Earth and, moving a time bar, set themselves down at any one of several hundred sites of great importance to humanity’s cultural history.”
