1) What should VRWG be doing? Let's set some goals for the coming year... (All)
-More interaction with Discovery & Access (Susette) No representation of VR with public services
-How do we get the most of IIIF?
More about maps (Boris always approached maps as images, cartographic objects, Eliza thinks of maps as data - There is a movement with the new CUGIR to bring links into the new catalog records – What will that mean for discovery?)
-Idea of the player of digitized lecture tapes being embedded in the catalog
-Jenn and Melissa would give D&A updates
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 Liz, Curtis and Cheryl want to get collections up on Flickr
-Met with DCAPS at the nd end of August
-API might be out of date because the rest of CUL is not using it as much anymore
...
We should have a different email account to use for Flickr (problems for OKU with a link to Kayla's no longer active account) - These are things to keep in mind when setting up an account (updating, harvesting, maintaining, making sure that these collections are both in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)
Dianne should pass scripts to HLM – Maybe Simon and Dianne should give an update
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)
-Could be useful for Communications to highlight, say, this is our most popular image
-For us. we might want to use them for making decisions (like putting collections up on Flickr)
-Could use stats for reporting on grants, feedback on the usage of collection
For Jasmine, it would help prioritize metadata cleanup
-Do an annual report
4) Thinking about speakers for a larger talk (CUL and beyond, maybe at Goldwin Smith) and other activities
5) Feedback on Design Thinking workshop
-Susette wants more specifics: How could this help the person coming? What new skills could I learn? Different types of brainstorming, new apporaches to problem solving using other techniques, approaching a problem from different vanage points to see things from new perspectives, give a clearer idea about what Design Thinking is
-Hear about what other people's problems are and hear how they could fit into your workflow
Talk about how this would be good for solving human-centerd problems
Future agenda items: Captioning in Kaltura (Tre will write a blog post), A&S grants...
