This site serves as a documentation of the project in the course of the seminar Sketching User Experience. We will document our progress, the sketching methods we applied and how this finally leads to an elaborated idea how the project topic could be implemented.

The system to be developed belongs to the research area of Blended Libraries. It should

• Support searching and browsing on multi-touch-based system
• Combine physical media items with potentials of digital services
• Integrate various media types and sources (web-based and social media)

The task presented to our group was to have these requirements in mind while applying several sketching techniques learned in the theoretical part to gather ideas and finally refine them to an elaborated prototype.
