digiTroupe is a concept mobile app and WAP site that provides mobile access to the New York Public Library (NYPL) for the Performing Arts' Digital Dance Collection housed at Lincoln Center.
This is the culminating project for Dr. Cocciolo's Fall 2009 Digital Libraries class at Pratt Institute's School of Library and Information Science (SILS) in New York City.
digiTroupe was developed by Bacilio Mendez II, Jessica Haas, and Jessica Young.
Please Note:
digiTroupe is not a fully functioning app, it is simply a concept developed by the three students above for a graduate school class. It has not been approved or endorsed by the NYPL, or any of the dance companies named. This presentation and the accompanying video on YouTube are merely for educational and entertainment purposes.
