April 2013

April 17 in Olin 703, 11-12

Agenda:

  • ATC's 2013 eText and Authoring Primer (Roberta), written as an R&D piece, now considering how to translate for an external audience. Considering creating a picker? Website?  Need to understand the need better, come up with use cases. Possibly come with questions for faculty to build use cases (Jaron, Roberta, and others are going to meet outside of VRWG)
  • Collections in Luna, ARTstor, Sharedshelf (Jason and Danielle) Promotion to date it has been up to curator, occasional Chronicle articles, etc. DCAPS is going to do a new quarterly digest. Choosing a platform is complex because of different collections requirements, e.g. currently multimedia support is not great in Sharedshelf. We continue to cross pollenate collections in SharedShelf, ARTstor, ARTstor Commons as appropriate. Registry of Digital Collections could be the place to keep track of where collections are available, but we would need to revive the tool (which is unstable, at best).

March 2013

March 20 in Olin 703, 11-12

Agenda:

  • Updating the VRWG web presence and print materials (Steven and Marsha -- What we've identified should be done and what do you think?): We need to figure out which pages are public and note which projects are ongoing and which have been completed. Nothing should be deleted. Perhaps we should eventually include an ARTstor workflow as we have with Luna. We looked at the Visual Resources page from the catalog (http://www.library.cornell.edu/visualresources/tools/) and we will examine the language with the Usability group with a cognitive walk-though. Danielle suggested that we explore what our peer institutions are doing.
  • Ideas for VR (Marsha)
  • SWANK information (Marsha)
  • When will Sharedshelf be publicized/announced to CUL?
  • Would be good to reinstate collection announcements -- more discussion on protocol.

Canceled

January 2013

January 16 in Olin 703, 11-12

In attendance: Boris Michev, Mira Basara, Liz Muller, Jason Kovari, Steven Folsom and Marsha Taichman

Agenda:

  • 2013 Goals (See http://staffweb.library.cornell.edu/node/810 for the original charges of VRWG). We discussed whether were we going to be a working group and/or a public group/outreach/information sharing. Consensus seemed to be on information sharing forum, (technical information, public services, outreach).
  • Possible projects- Review and update our web presence and print materials (VRWG website, wiki, image database list, print material; liaise between curators and communications as new collections are unveiled, branding collection homepages from the DRC Image Collections (Danielle and Melissa would need to be involved)
  • Membership-  The group decided to focus membership on CUL and Museums, perhaps touch base with those who haven't been seen in a while.
  • Brown Bags for 2013- We have a couple topics (maps, image resources and data visualization). Marsha and Kaila would love more topics VRWG members for consideration, even if said members aren't interested in presenting themselves.
  • vrwg-l: Should anyone else monitor this? Danielle oversees the list. Marsha makes referrals when appropriate.
  • Updates (Kaltura, etc.)- Kaltura was unveiled in November- 3 users have been set up, mostly for investigating the platform. Artstor- latest release was lacking acceptable new multi-media functionality, trying integrate Sharedshelf and Kaltura, working on mapping to Sharedshelf, still need to go through ARTstor for building new collections. History pin- we've uploaded some images, search "Abolitionist Map of America" on the PBS site.
