A&S Program: New projects and outreach for Images for Teaching (Tre)

• Structural funding from A&S at 170,000 a year to split

• VR advisory group to assess the applicants

• Now grants open to graduate students

• 12 applicants (8 faculty, 4 graduate students), assessed feasibility

• 4 projects: large digitization effort from Kheel Center with Jewish history, punk flyers, Classics prof 50 maps of  CA and a glass collection from a father and son -- more web-based development -- altogether will cost $110,000 to $120,000 of budget

• Rest for images for teaching and overseen by Tre (straight digitization with images going to Shared Shelf)

• Boom and bust cycle

• Some in between projects to negotiate

• Perpetual preservation is mandated (like physical collections)

• ERIC: Faculty sponsor and can it be added to the collection (according to Oya)
  
  

Future of Flickr (Dianne)

• Updated all Flickr images from Luna to Shared Shelf

• Dianne to hand over Flickr account

• Are we going to all ShSh Commons collections?

• 2010 we joined Flickr Commons from LOL, put up 4,000 images and then Dianne’s job changed. Plan was to move this to VRWG -- people could form a small group and review the materials and exisiting collections, put stuff in, how we get copyright clearance from Amy, and how to change the metadata from what’s in Shared Shelf and Flickr

• Many more hits on Flickr Commons

• Images for FC MUST be in public domain, which deters people, ShSh Commons is not necessarily in the public domain, just the copyright holder’s permission was given to have these images in ShSh Commons

• Chloe MacLaren could be part of this group to review existing collections, Mira would help

• Eirva suggests putting in less images so that we can have more control

Digital Collections Portal Update (Melissa and Jenn)

• Refine Shared Shelf pulling process into DCP

• Hip Hop Flyers, AD White, Artifacts are all recently added collections

• Some things stuck in metadata or IIIF production

• Artstor has a new service (ask…)

• PDFs of art books in Racker that we would like to get into DCP if we can get Artstor to give us IIIF and HTP

• Universal viewer and page flipping together

• Implementing authorization

• Working on getting Spotlight into a place where people can be productive with this

• Gamalon live

• Trying to figure up uploads of audio

• Karma and Japanese woodblock would be good in the portal because they are not working in ShSh

• Art books are motivating for working on IIIF

• Nightly reindex of metadata
