1) What should VRWG be doing? Let's set some goals for the coming year...(All)
2) Flickr and Kheel (Railroad archive) – Who will be involved? What was the outcome of the VRWG Flickr subgroup discussions? (Liz Parker, invited guest)
-Get collections up on Flickr
-Met with DCAPS at the nd of August
-API might be out of date because the rest of CUL is not using it as much anymore
-ILGWU photographs are getting the most traffic, ShSh images are getting far less use than Flickr
-Railroad enthusiasts are loud and invested, so Flickr seems like the best platform
-Liz wanted to interact and engage with the community and support societies - Could get their help with descriptive detail
-Susette thinks that we need to make sure if we have an overall CUL presence that we are maintaining, and someone needs to keep an eye on the annual fee
We should have a different email account to use for Flickr (problems for OKU with a link to Kayla's no longer active account) - These are things to keep in mind when setting up an account (updating, harvesting, maintaining, making sure that these collections are both in Flickr AND ShSh)
3) Image collection data: Who is going where and for what? Artstor, Shared Shelf, Digital Collections Portal, Kaltura Mediaspace...Where are we putting our efforts and why? Promotional ideas...(All)
4) Update on Johnson/RMC curator (Liz)5) Thinking about speakers for a larger talk (CUL and beyond, maybe at Goldwin Smith) – We could also discuss this with Eliza and other activities
5) Feedback on Design Thinking workshop6) Discussion of the 3 A&S project grants (Tre)
Future agenda items: Captioning in Kaltura (Tre will write a blog post), A&S grants...
