Agenda:
- Luna migration progress:
- Marsha and Susette sent the email to AAP and A&S faculty to let them know about decommissioning Luna. There are no major or negative responses so far. Bonnie MacDougall pointed out that metadata in SS is not same as in Luna. Hannah and Mira will work on this to sync these two databases.
- Hannah, Mira and Rhea are working on Political Americana migration. Export from Luna is in xml format, which is difficult to convert to xlsx for Shared Shelf upload. We might need help from Dianne D. to write a script. Rhea hired a student to transfer images from DVD and sort out for SS upload.
- E-Museum update: The Johnson Museum signed a contract with Gallery Systems and will be migrating their collection to TMSE-Museum update
- Status of current A&S grants and upcoming projects
- Bastides project
- Future and changes within VRWG
- ARTstor/SS updates
- VR workshops and presentations: We came up with a few additional ideas: AV streaming and policy with Tre, Tableau with Boris as well as other resources (a primer)

Agenda:
- VRA 2015 Conference update (Marsha, Mira and Hannah)
- ARTstor next realease will allow search Sheard Shelf commons collections through ARTstor site. Now we are publishing images to both places (ARTstor and SS). Once when this feature is available we would need to remove our collections from ARTstor that are in SS commons as well. - Luna updates
-Because of security vulnerability of Luna server, we soon have to decide about Luna server status. We have to move all our collections out from Luna v6.2, either to let Luna to host some collections or upgrade our system to v7.1. After conversation with Drake from LunaImaging, Danielle reported back to the VRWG group. The most complex collection in Luna and still very much in use by faculty and students is HFJ. Options are: to let Luna to host HFJ, there will be annual charge plus charge for migration/mapping. Other option is to move this collection to eMuseum. HFJ has to decide and will cover cost for it.
-Liz brought up a discussion about limited download size in Shared Shelf. Right not max download size from SS is 1024. RMC would like to be able to download hi-res images from Shared Shelf from RMC and ADW collections. RMC gets often requests and retrieval from different system is not sustainable. Danielle will follow up with ARTstor about this.
-Susette suggested to contribute images to the Images for Academic Publishing (IAP) program, and with this have option to download images with higher resolution.
- Collection promotion
-Eirva presented "Sharing and promoting images via Wikipedia" and how to increase the visibility of digital collections. Everyone likes the idea. - Hannah Marshall will talk about her research "A Comparative Study of Indexer- and User-assigned Subject Metadata in a Teaching Collection of Art Images"
- Flickr maintenance
