- Updates: Moving LUNA server in the beginning of June, where images can be uploaded directly. Archivision module 7 in Shared Shelf and 8 will be available this summer. Why are the modules for Archivision separate in ARTstor and Shared Shelf? It makes sense that they would be purchased separately, but do they need to remain divided in the databases?
- New Adobe subscription model (Steven): SF will touch base with Desktop Services. Advantages of this new model include potentially more frequent updates (keeping up with CS3 has been a problem), software is never out of date, could mean more access. Disadvantages include that it will likely be more expensive and will require Internet. Streaming models are becoming the way of the future.
- Images in Discovery and Access (Steven): Public services people working with images will be involved (Kaila, Susette and Marsha). When they have something to see it will be brought to VRWG for feedback. New catalog should accommodate images of all types and will have a better algorithm than Summon.
- VRWG Brown Bags: Brainstorming and Assessment (Kaila and Marsha): Lunchtimes are not the best for everyone. Not much news regarding Kaltura, but come the spring Tre and a new hire could discuss AV. Jason suggested that Danielle might speak about the cross-campus AV report. Other topics: Digital archiving, eCommons, images in the new catalog, possibly involve the museum. The Brown Bags could potentially be co-facilitated with another CUL group, such as Metadata or Instruction. Kaila and Marsha will discuss sending out a message to the VRWG listserv to get suggestions for additional topics.
- Cornell representation at VR committees regionally and nationally (Marsha)
- Kaila will report reported on LOEX conference workshop: "Make it Pop: Integrating Information Literacy into Your Teaching "Songbook," and making students (and librarians) more visually literate.
