Digital Learning Object Repository (Roberta's group)
August 24, 2016 at 10 am in Olin 703
In attendance:
Tre, Mira, Susette, Karl, Jen, Boris, Marsha, Eirva
+ Quick overview of image repositories for our digital assets (Marsha)
+ Update on AV initiative (Tre)
+ Brainstorming about digital collections promotion-- New strategies (All)
+ Discussion of online learning modules from professional organizations (Marsha)
Flickr updates: Small group (Melissa, Dianne, Mira and Eirva) to review policy and check all collections before moving eCommons to Flickr. Mira made a spreadsheet to check with stakeholders (like Liz). Divine Comedy will go to Flickr, and huge collection of African American photographs to be moved to Flickr (2011 A&S grant), Billie Jean Isobel collection could go in (collections already in Shared Shelf) and two Kheel collections. Compare Flickr to Shared Shelf Commons (who is keeping the statistics for Shared Shelf?). Easier to move ShSh to Flickr because the metadata is easier to export and we have tier 4 images. Mira created a list of collections from ShSh, Artstor and Digital Collections Portal.Documentation of which collections are where – helpful for VRHELP-L. Eirva suggested linking Flickr collections to the portal if it is going to be our main repository. More links to the portal will help with Google results. Migrate RMC images from old website to new one and make sure that the links work. BibID should have some knowledge. Flickr is not expensive to maintain, except in terms of staff costs.
Spreadsheet of all ShSh collections – Could Mira add this to our documentation.
Flickr as an outreach tool to bring people to the rest of our resources to ShSh
+Tre and Marsha to discuss the documentation with Mira when she has compiled our list
+Have one meeting per year to review statistics as part of VRWG mandate (ask Jason how to get information from Shared Shelf Commons – statistics)
+Add Artstor in the notes field of Count-It and make sure to add VRWG questions to Count-It (brainstorm better tracking) – Add a counter to VRHELP-
AV Initiative: Trying to edit down document to make an internal document and one that can be shared with the community (only 3 research libraries that are doing anything like this). AV grants prioritized rather than being an annual granting process. Want to remove overhead. Tre asks for a new 1/2 time person for 18 months to create a task force and gather metadata. Application deadline for preservation grants is September 1. OAIS presevation model – we are moving towards one. Increase of money to get a person to prep the material and then the same amount of money to support the next 3-5 years.
+Make sure that all collections are in the catalog and make sure that we have internal communications with liaisons to use in classes and reference. Start with home people first before going out to social media. PUSH D&A TO FEATURE IMAGES MORE IN THE CATALOG. Is a Google search adequate for image resources? Marsha will talk to Ken about this. Think about Reps promotion – successful press release, etc.

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

Universal viewer and page flipping together
Implementing authorization
Working on getting Spotlight into a place where people can be productive with this
Gamalon live
