Abstract
SCARLET is pioneering Augmented Reality (AR) using mobile devices to enhance students’ use of special collections (SC) in libraries; bringing SCs into the age of the app. AR enables students to simultaneously experience the magic of primary materials, whilst enhancing the learning experience by ‘surrounding’ the object with digitised content.
