Hack Dibner is Dibner Library's annual semester-long proof-of-concept competition to improve user experience in the library. Students compete as teams, complete workshops to earn bonus points, and work with librarian mentors to craft the best proposal to improve library experience at Dibner or NYU Libraries more broadly.
For the 2025 competition, we started with 20 teams and ended with 11 finalist teams all vying for the chance to win $700. Read more about our 2025 competition here.
