The Red, White, and Black (RWB) project was conceived as a human-guided walking-tour about African-American history at NC State University. The current generation of mobile devices has enabled us to publish this interactive guide on the web, so that anyone with a smart phone can explore this important aspect of university history. This talk outlines the creation of the RWB mobile application, which integrates existing digital collections and infrastructure to provide access to events, images, and audio that highlight the lives and experiences of African-Americans at NC State. This project is one example of the ways NCSU Libraries is creating opportunities for situated discovery and learning. We will explore some of the challenges and possibilities of repurposing special collections materials to provide new avenues for learning, discuss the technologies and infrastructure that make this possible, and highlight future directions for exposing library resources using mobile devices.
