- ItemOpen AccessDeveloping a Visual Digital Image Collection(2005) D'Amour, Heather; Nasserden, Marilyn“In recent years there has been a dramatic expansion of online visual materials. This development has been spurred by two powerful forces: advances and convergence in computing and communications that make it possible and create demand, and the visual orientation of our world that encourages that demand.” Dr. Suzanna Simor (Art Librarian). The implementation, development and the ongoing management of visual digital image collections and services requires examination of a broad range of issues. This presentation will provide an overview of many of these topics including: acquiring digital images, metadata, library and other data standards, partnerships, copyright, digital rights management, and teaching tools. Converging interests of varying groups of educational institutions, museums, archives, and libraries often result in collaborative projects. Examples will be drawn from the University of Calgary’s Information Resources project as well as from other visual resources projects and research.
- ItemOpen AccessDevelopment of Multimedia Creation Services and Resources in the Taylor Family Digital Library, University of Calgary(ARLIS/NA Conference Proceedings, 2012-03-31) Nasserden, Marilyn; Sadler, Shawna; Tetrault, DylanThe University of Calgary Libraries and Cultural Resources (LCR) is developing a comprehensive academic Multimedia Creation programme to support students from points of inspiration to archiving their original works. Facilities include video editing suites, a bank of Mac Pro workstations, video gaming, and digitizing equipment. We will also provide a touch table and digital sphere with software development kits for students to create their own work on these platforms. Library collections, including e-manuals, web resources (Creative Commons, public domain, and royalty-free resources), and learning tools (workshops, guides) support content creation. Services and resources will be developed collaboratively between several LCR and non-LCR units, including the Student Success Centre, Visual & Performing Arts, Digital Media Commons, and campus IT.
- ItemOpen AccessThe Evolving and Converging Environment for the Libraries, Archives, Special Collections, and Museums at the University of Calgary(ARLIS/NA Conference Proceedings, 2011-04-05T21:18:07Z) Nasserden, MarilynLibraries and Cultural Resources is the umbrella body for the University of Calgary’s museums, libraries, archives and special collections. Our vision is to be “A leader in the development of innovative information resources and services... In a converged environment, it successfully incorporates the resources and services of libraries, museums, archives, special collections, and a university press to provide outstanding support for scholarship, learning, and the creation of knowledge…” Striving towards this vision has involved a new organizational structure and co-location of the LAMs in a new state-of-the-art facility as well as an increased emphasis on centralized metadata services, on one-search discovery systems, and on developing unique research collections. It is changing the roles of curators, librarians and archivists and the way they work with each other and researchers.
- ItemOpen AccessSetting Up a Streaming Video Collection: A Case Study(ARLIS/NA Conference Proceedings, 2010-04-24) Nasserden, MarilynIn the current economic climate and with the move to centralization of services, especially but not only in academic libraries, Fine Arts librarians and visual resource professionals may be asked to assume media responsibilities such as moving image collection development and management in addition to other media and/or subject responsibilities. With the transition to online digital collections, this entails developing streaming video collections. I will share my experience at the University of Calgary Library as a case study in issues encountered while participating in setting the groundwork for an interdisciplinary streaming video collection.
