Presentation was given by Meghan Musolff (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and Bryan Loar (Director of Knowledge Management & Research, SC search consultants) as part of the Engaging New Technologies session at the 2011 VRA + ARLIS/NA joint conference on March 26, 2011.
This document presents the Digital Workplace Maturity Model created by ClearBox Consulting. The model assesses digital workplaces across four dimensions: Communication & Information, Structure, Services, and Community & Collaboration. Each dimension has five levels of maturity ranging from Base to Excel. The model uses metaphors like a market, town, city, supermarket and mall to represent different patterns of maturity. The document provides examples and discusses how organizations can use the model to evaluate their current digital workplace and identify strategies to improve in areas that match their business goals.
Intranet and digital workplace analytics and success metricsDorje McKinnon
This presentation was given at the Digital Workplace conference 2016 in Auckland New Zealand. It outlines my digital analytics maturity model. This model was developed from the intranet analytics report I authored in July 2016. It is the synthesis of my interviews with digital workplace and intranet professionals and work done by Avinash Kaushik on how to add value to analytics.
This presentation also looks at intranet analytics tools researched for the analytics report and where they sit within my analytics maturity framework.

Collaborative workflow management tools enable real-time connection and communication between teams. They anticipate needs and fetch relevant information without needing to ask. Such tools keep conversations and work together in one place, saving time by reducing emails and calls. Metrics show these tools can increase efficiency by up to 18% and save each employee 2 hours per day by streamlining processes and collaboration.
The Digital Workplace - Redefining Productivity in the Information AgeElizabeth Lupfer
The document discusses the need for organizations to redefine how information work is done to increase productivity in the digital age. It notes that while information technology has advanced, work practices have not adapted and continue to rely on outdated industrial-era models. As a result, employees spend over an hour per day searching for information instead of being productive. The proposed solution is to create a "Digital Workplace" that integrates different work systems and is tailored to employees' specific roles and tasks. This could fundamentally change how work gets done and help organizations gain a competitive advantage through improved information work productivity.
Gridle is a cloud-based platform that allows users to manage tasks, teams, projects, communications and files in one centralized place. It aims to help users get more done in less time by reducing the time spent on emails, calendars and reminders from 28 hours per month on average to just one centralized tool. Gridle integrates other services like Dropbox and Skype and provides analytics on performance and productivity improvements.

Driving the Digital Workplace with Office 365Bill Ryan
Organizations are moving to Microsoft Office 365 at unprecedented speed making the platform Microsoft’s most successful product in it’s history. Many organizations use Office 365 for Exchange but have little expertise in understanding how to utilize the collaboration features of the platform. Companies struggle to understand how to deploy and use SharePoint, Lync, and Yammer as these features often go unused:
- SharePoint is often used simply as a document store
- There is little focus on integrating the Office 365 components into a cohesive solution
- Organizations lack the knowledge in how to put it all together to drive the Digital Workplace
Planning your Digital Workplace: A Systems-Based Planning ApproachChristian Buckley
When deploying a “Digital Workplace,” where do you begin? What is needed is an iterative, strategic, and systems-based approach of identifying core challenges at the team and company level, working with key stakeholders to identify appropriate strategies, building a solution using a scalable, repeatable, and sustainable change model. This approach drives stakeholder engagement, and ensures a more holistic solution that aligns with the needs of the business at every level. In this presentation, we walk through a systems-based planning approach for Enterprise Collaboration. Topics will include:
--Engaging leaders in a systems analysis, identifying high-priority needs and challenges
--Outlining a set of targeted and strategic actions based on common customer scenarios
--Developing an implementation plan to support successful operational and improvement strategies
The intent of this presentation is to help organizations incorporate systems-based planning into their Digital Workplace planning processes, using real-world customer examples, and to receive tips on how to fold these best practices into their own strategies.

LibTech 2010: Knowledge Management in an Academic Environment: A Case StudyHamilton Public Library
Systems and technology for managing documents, content and knowledge have been developed in recent years to address the increasingly complex need for easy access to large collections of data and information. While traditional knowledge management systems do their best to aid organizations in increasing the effectiveness of the information it generates, for the most part, these systems are not as successful as desired. In many cases, while the system is working as designed, the “human element” in terms of how people approach using and sharing information is overlooked.
This case study will describe how the application of social media is improving the effectiveness and increasing the adoption of knowledge management in an academic research environment. Specifically, the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has been using a mix of social media technologies in combination with their knowledge management system to improve usability, increase the rate and frequency of use and contribution, and provide a satisfying, contextual search and find experience for their audience of senior academic researchers. The audience will learn about our journey from a large, unsorted data and document collection to what we are building now, which is a comprehensive research resource that uses a variety of social media tools, including wikis, blogs and Twitter, to manage and share our research collection internally, to collaborate within our family of international research affiliates, and to communicate our research agenda and findings to our academic community. Challenges we faced and resolved will be included, as well as costs (financial and otherwise), and our future plans.

This document discusses how social computing and Web 2.0 technologies are changing business and how enterprises should adapt. It notes that younger employees who have grown up with these technologies will expect to use them at work. The document outlines challenges around information sharing and collaboration in traditional enterprise systems and how approaches like blogs, wikis, and social networking features can help by making knowledge sharing more open, voluntary and rewarding. It advocates that enterprises adopt these kinds of Enterprise 2.0 approaches to engage employees, simplify collaboration and improve knowledge discovery.
**WEBINAR - to see a recording of this presentation given on 10th December 2014 - http://www.clearbox.co.uk/the-future-of-sharepoint-webinar-video/
SharePoint dominates as an intranet and collaboration platform, but it seems increasingly challenged by more nimble, consumer-driven technologies. Microsoft too, seems to be putting the emphasis on Office 365. How should SharePoint evolve? How much should we be driven by employee expectations? And what should SharePoint teams be planning in response? In this keynote, Sam will consider:
• What are the trends in how people work and what they expect from their workplace tools?
• How useful is SharePoint as the basis for a digital workplace?
• How strong is the case for moving to Office 365?
• Is Microsoft’s roadmap enough to keep them in the lead?
• What are rival platforms doing that SharePoint misses?

Solving Today's HR, Communication & Leadership Challenges With Microsoft 365 ...Richard Harbridge
Microsoft 365 Intranets are capable of a lot more than just getting key corporate messaging out.
Internal Communications leaders have shifted from editors to enablers. With that shift comes a change from enforcing messaging to empowering and amplifying excellent communications and great ideas throughout the business. From preboarding to offboarding, HR's challenges are harder today than they have ever been before. Naturally, how these leaders leverage the digital workplace has changed as well, especially in how they leverage technology to achieve more with less.
Join our Product Offering Lead, Anders Fagerlund, and the CTO of 2toLead, Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace. This webinar will explore ideas and solutions that HR and Corporate Communications have embraced to improve how, where, and when they engage with employees.
We will discuss:
How to best leverage SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer for modern communications.
How to take advantage of AI and Microsoft technology to accelerate and improve key communication and content.
Microsoft Intranet's best practices and approach that can make all the difference.
There will also be a short Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
Target audience
This event is primarily aimed at roles like CIO, CCO, CTO, Digital Workplace or Intranet Managers or similar roles within organizations planning to improve their digital workplace based on Microsoft technology.
Moving from Social Technology towards an Operating System for the OrganisationLee Bryant
This document discusses moving from using social technologies in organizations to developing an "operating system" approach. It argues that while social tools are useful, organizations also need to change their underlying structure to be more adaptive, customer-centric, networked and data-driven. The document provides examples of agile and platform-based approaches from software that could inspire organizational transformation, focusing on distributed and iterative processes. The goal is for organizations to develop capabilities for continuous change and responsiveness like a connected "operating system".

Modern HR, Communication, & Leadership Best Practices With Microsoft 365Richard Harbridge
Today Intranets are about more than just getting key corporate messaging out. Communications have changed just as IT and HR have changed. Communications leaders have shifted from editors to enablers. Communication leaders are moving from enforcing messaging to empowering and amplifying excellent communications and great ideas throughout the business. Human Resources leaders are shifting from hiring/firing and policy enforcement to performance and engagement. From preboarding to offboarding, HR's challenges are harder today than they have ever been before. Naturally, how these leaders leverage the digital workplace has changed, especially in how they leverage technology to achieve more with less. Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he explores ideas and solutions that HR and Corporate Communications have embraced to improve how, where, and when they engage with employees. We will discuss how to best leverage SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer for modern communications and take advantage of AI and Microsoft technology to accelerate and improve key communication and content. The technology, best practices, and approach can make all the difference, and it has, for some organizations, led to more significant HR, Intranet, and communications success.

They both refer to the same thing – machines that can perform tasks without being explicitly programmed.
What's Changed with SharePoint in the Past Few Years and Why It MattersRichard Harbridge
Office 365 and SharePoint are evolving fast. A few years ago many of us may have begun modernizing our SharePoint environments - planning an upgrade or a migration to SharePoint 2013 or even SharePoint Online. Since that time many things have changed in both SharePoint Server and Office 365, not to mention within our organizations. New services have been added, and many of those services are improving with each passing month. What approaches, strategies and rollout models are other organizations using? What can we learn from their successes?

VRA 2023 Collections Management in Fashion and Media session. Presenter: Wen Nie Ng
The goal of the paper is to enhance the metadata standard of fashion collections by expanding the controlled vocabulary and metadata elements for Costume Core, a metadata schema designed specifically for fashion artifacts. Various techniques are employed to achieve this goal, including identifying new descriptors using word embedding similarity measurements and adding new descriptive terms for precise artifact descriptions to use when re-cataloging a university fashion collection in Costume Core. The paper also provides a sneak peek of the Model Output Confirmative Helper Application, which simplifies the vocabulary review process. Additionally, a survey was conducted to collect insights into how other fashion professionals use metadata when describing dress artifacts. The survey results reveal 1) commonly used metadata standards in the historic fashion domain; 2) sample metadata respondents use; and 3) partial potential metadata that can be appended to Costume Core, which is relevant to Virginia Tech's Oris Glisson Historic Costume and Textile Collection. The expanded Costume Core resulting from the project offers a more comprehensive way of describing fashion collection holdings/artifacts. It has the potential to be adopted by the fashion collections to produce metadata that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
VRA 2023 Adventures in Critical Cataloging session. Presenters: Sara Schumacher and Millicent Fullmer
This paper will cover the results of a research study looking at visual resources professionals' perceptions of the visual canon at their institutions and their actions confronting biases in their visual collections. This research is innovative because the "visual canon" as a concept is often evoked but rarely defined, and there has not been research into perceptions and practices that span different types of cultural heritage institutions. The researchers seek to focus on the role of the visual resources professional as a potential change-maker in confronting bias and transforming the “visual canon.” In our presentation, we will discuss the analysis of our survey and interviews around three key research questions: What barriers do visual resources professionals perceive in remedying the biases in the visual canon? What authorities, past and present, do they identify in shaping the visual canon? How do they approach teaching users to identify and critically confront these issues? We will highlight trends as well as unique concerns and solutions from our research participants and engage our audience with how these issues impact their own collections, policies, and instruction.
VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: John J. Taormina
The Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database project collects historic images of the medieval monuments of South Italy, from the so-called Kingdom of Sicily dating from c. 950 to c. 1430, during the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin, and early Aragonese periods. The project was begun in 2011, as part of a 3-year Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, under project investigators Caroline Bruzelius, Duke University, and William Tronzo, University of California, San Diego.
The site features over 8,000 historical images in a range of media, including drawings, paintings, engravings, photographs, and plans and elevations culled from museums, archives, and libraries in Europe and America, often from the Grand Tour, as well as from available publications. The value of the database lies in making accessible to scholars the visual documentation of changes to historical sites because the medieval monuments of South Italy have been damaged, changed, and restored on many occasions, with tombs and liturgical furnishings often destroyed, dismantled, or removed. In fact, many of the 600 monuments no longer exist, often bombed during World War II or destroyed in earthquakes, or obscured by modern buildings and urban sprawl.
VRA 2023 Archives Tools and Techniques session. Presenters: Maureen Burns and Lavinia Ciuffa
The Ernest Nash collection documents ancient Roman architecture in pre- and post-World War II Italy. What made Nash's work significant, beyond capturing the present state of the ancient Roman monuments at a volatile historical moment, was the primacy of the topographical photography and the systematic order he brought to this subject. The American Academy's Photographic Archive contributed Nash's images to an open access, interactive website called the "Urban Legacy of Ancient Rome." It reveals the city in stunning detail and uses geo-referencing to provide the viewer with a better understanding of the overall contextual and spatial logic. These Nash images and metadata are also IIIF compatible. As the Academy continues to digitize and describe the full collection of about 30,000 images, thanks to the generous support of the Kress Foundation, a new partnership has developed with Archivision and vrcHost. Current high quality digital photographs of the same ancient Roman monuments are being added to compare with the historical images documenting architectural changes--whether conserved, restored, altered, reconstructed, re-sited or destroyed. This presentation will provide a progress report about what it takes to move new digital photography into IIIF and the various tools available for close examination and presentation. Finding ways to provide ready access and juxtapose historic and contemporary photography online, builds upon the legacy of Nash's quality curation and scholarship to create 21st century, accessible, online educational resources of great interest and utility to scholars, students, and a wide audience of ancient Roman enthusiasts.

VRA 2023 Keynote. Presenter: Melissa Gohlke
A historical record that focuses on white, heteronormative society and events obscures many facets of San Antonio history. Peel back the veneer of normalcy and one can find rich, diverse, and unexpected strands of the city’s past. From female impersonators of the early 1900s to queer life in derelict spaces during the 1960s and finally, gay and lesbian bar culture of the1970s and beyond, the hidden threads of San Antonio’s history reveal themselves. In this presentation, LGBTQ Historian Melissa Gohlke explores these hidden histories and stitches together an alternative interpretation of the city’s historical narrative by examining a wealth of primary sources found in archives and personal collections.
About the speaker:
Melissa Gohlke is an urban historian who specializes in San Antonio LGBTQ+ history. For over a decade, Gohlke has been researching queer history in San Antonio and South Texas and sharing her passion for this history through extensive outreach activities such as presentations, media interactions, exhibits, and written work. Gohlke is the Assistant Archivist for UTSA Libraries Special Collections.

VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: Mark Pompelia
Material Order is an academic consortium of material sample collections (including wood, metal, glass, ceramic, polymers, plastics, textiles, bio-materials, etc.—any material that might be used in or considered for art, architecture, and design disciplines) founded by the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design and now comprising several more institutions in the US. It provides a community-based approach to management and access to material collections utilizing and developing standards and best practices. Material Order created the Materials Profile that serves as a shared cataloging tool on the LYRASIS CollectionSpace platform and can be further developed as the different needs of consortium members are identified. Open Web searching across all collections occurs via a front-end discovery portal built with Wordpress at materialorder.org.
The Material Order project was born from the acknowledgment that resource sharing and collaborative catalogs are the most promising approach to exploration and implementation. It was always the intent, now actualized, for partner institutions with different mission and scope to compel the project to consider and accommodate criteria such as material health ecologies, fabrication possibilities, and overlap into adjacent fields such as engineering and archeology. Thus, Material Order represents not just items on a shelf but a knowledge-base of compositions, uses, forms, and properties. No longer in its infancy, Material Order provides a shared and adaptable framework for managing collections across the consortium and optimal facilitation of materials-based research and exploration for art, architecture, and design applications.
VRA 2023 New Frontiers in Visual Resources session. Presenters: Meghan Rubenstein and Kate Leonard
The Art Department at Colorado College is piloting a Personal Archiving program in select undergraduate studio courses that combines visual and digital literacy instruction with personal reflection and professional development. Meghan Rubenstein, Curator of Visual Resources, and Kate Leonard, Professor of Art, will discuss the drive behind this initiative to develop student competencies within a liberal arts setting. We will share our ongoing iterative process as well as select student activities and learning outcomes that may be adopted to various institutions.
VRA 2022 Teaching Visual Literacy session. Presenter: Molly Schoen
Our everyday lives are more saturated in images and videos than any other time in human history. This fact alone underscores the need to implement visual literacy skills in all stages of education, from pre-K to post-grad. Learning how to read images with critical, analytical eyes is crucial to understanding the world around us as we see it represented in the news, social media, advertisements, etc. New technologies have exasperated this already urgent need for visual literacy education. Synthetic media, deepfakes, APIs, bot farms, and other forms of artificial intelligence have many innovative uses, but bad actors also use them to fan the flames of disinformation. We have seen the grave consequences from this age of disinformation, from undermining elections to attempts to delegitimize science and doctors, undoubtedly raising the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we need to know about these new forms of altered images made by artificial intelligence? How do we discern between real, human-made content versus fakes made by computers, which are becoming more and more difficult to discern? This paper aims to raise awareness of how new forms of visual media can manipulate and deceive the viewer. Audience participants will learn how to empower themselves and their peers into being more savvy consumers of visual materials by understanding the basics of AI and recognizing the characteristics of faked media.
VRA 2022 Individual Papers Session. Presenter: Malia Van Heukelem
This case study of a large artist archive at a medium sized academic research library will connect the success of the artist serving as his own archivist and the collection's broad research appeal locally, nationally and internationally. Like many artists, there is so much more than his own work represented. There is correspondence, fine art prints, ephemera of other artists and writers hidden in the collection. The foundation of organization is in place; now the focus is on creating online access points through finding aids and image collections. The presentation will explore the use of ArchivesSpace, Omeka, and other software to increase access. It will also demonstrate how a solo archivist can leverage interns, student assistants, and volunteers for collections management projects that benefit both the institutional priorities and desired learning outcomes. This talk will delve into the challenges of 20th century visual resource collections such as copyright and engagement with donors. Featuring a local artist has brought other art and architecture collections to the library, without clear boundaries which has led to questions of sustainability, who and what is collected. There is definitely a need to balance the historical record and yet, there are already more archival collections accessioned than can be responsibly managed by one person. The primary collection does include works by women and artists of color, yet much descriptive work remains to forefront the diversity contained within. As an archivist and librarian at a public university, there are many competing demands for collections management, support of researchers, and instruction plus the added interest for exhibition loans and the desire for other artists and architects to be represented. This artist archive is both interesting and complex.
This document summarizes an art history course titled "Pattern & Representation: Critical Cataloging for a New Perspective on Campus History" taught at Oklahoma State University. The course examines major developments in American art across different media from European contact through the mid-20th century. As part of the course, students are divided into groups to create digital exhibitions cataloging artworks from university newspaper archives between certain years. Students must include contextual information and link their entries to related articles. Their entries and a reflective essay are graded individually based on their work plan. The course introduces the concept of "critical cataloging" to bring social justice perspectives to archival and metadata work.
VRA 2022 session. Organizer/Moderator: Allan T. Kohl. Speakers: Virginia (Macie) Hall, Christina Updike, Marcia Focht, Rebecca Moss, Steven Kowalik, Jenni Rodda
During the past year, the “Great Resignation” (aka. The “Big Quit”) has roiled the world of employment nationwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused job losses among our membership. While many institutions and individuals now hope for a “return to normal,” others anticipate that the past two years mark a watershed necessitating further transformational changes in the years ahead. These larger employment trends have come on top of quantum shifts in the visual resources field itself, as traditional tasks give way to new responsibilities, and siloed image collections are replaced by interdisciplinary projects.
For several years, our annual conferences have featured the perspectives of newer professionals in “Stories from the Start.” Looking at the opposite ends of their career arcs, this session brings together the perspectives and experiences of two pre-pandemic retirees, two of our members who made their decisions to retire during the past year, and two currently active professionals whose retirements are pending in the near future. When and why did they make their decisions to retire? What was/is the actual process? Concerns? What comes next after we leave our offices for the last time?
VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenters: Melissa Becher and Samuel Sadow
In 2019, the art history program at American University gave its masters students a new option for the capstone project that is the culmination of the degree: create a digital project on an art historical topic using Omeka S or Wordpress. Initially, only a single student chose to complete a digital capstone over a traditional thesis, but within two years there was near parity between the two options, meaning seven digital capstones for the 2021 cohort. To support these projects, a close partnership quickly developed between the University’s library, the visual resources center, and the archives. This session covers how three campus units coordinate that support for these innovative digital humanities projects, including administration of the platforms, instruction, technical support, preservation, and access to the final projects. The session will also showcase examples of student work to demonstrate the variety and creativity of projects that can be accomplished using these platforms, as well as their contributions to the field of art history. The outcome of this initiative is clear: the best of digital humanities, weaving design and technology with rigorous art historical research, and finished projects that have already resulted in successful job applications in the field.
VRA 2022 Material Objects and Special Collections session. Presenters: Allan T. Kohl and Jackie Spafford
Materials-based collections represent a challenging new mode of information management in terms of subject specialization, physical description and accommodation, and institutional mission. Building upon the successful introductory meeting of this Group in Los Angeles at the 2019 Conference, the goal of this SIG is to provide a forum for open discussion of Material and Object Collections and their relationship to various library/visual resources tasks. The Material and Object Collections SIG provides an opportunity for individuals working with a variety of materials and objects collections – including those that support art and art history courses, those that support architecture and design courses, and those in cultural heritage organizations – to share ideas, issues, and potential solutions in regard to tasks similar to common library/visual resources activities (including cataloging, documentation, staffing, outreach), as well as more specialized concerns relating to the management of physical objects (security, storage and retrieval, the design of user spaces, etc.).
By continuing to offer an opportunity for participants to share brief introductions and profiles of their collections, we hope to encourage networking and exchange information about sources for specialized items; to display sample items and share surplus samples with other collections; and to provide examples of successful solutions to typical problems. Our long-range goal is to maintain an ongoing support group that can be of particular benefit to those professionals who are in the beginning stages of building or organizing physical collections.

Assessing the use of Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) by Art Historians and Archaeologists. Presenter: Kayla Olson
Supporting Art History Students’ Digital Projects at American University. Presenters: Samuel Sadow and Melissa Becher
VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenter: Kayla Olson
This paper discusses a study (completed in the spring of 2021) which explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys were disseminated in a snowball fashion and contained open and closed questions. The questions sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. While not QDAS, the image management application Tropy was also included. The author hopes that the anonymized responses will prompt discussion among professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management about the possible impact of these digital tools on researchers in these disciplines. The question remains on whether researchers in art and material culture disciplines would benefit more from QDAS if participants were aware of: 1) Their existence and 2) Their ability to help organize artifact data and to assist in performing image-based analysis.
VRA 2022 Critical Cataloging Conversations in Teaching, Research, and Practice session. Presenter: Ann M. Graf, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science, Simmons University
In the field of information science, we strive to provide access to information through the most efficient means possible. This is often done through the use of controlled vocabularies for description of subjects, and, in the case of art objects, for the identification of styles, processes, materials, and types. My research has examined the sufficiency of controlled vocabularies such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) for description of graffiti art processes and products. This research is evolving as the AAT is responding to warrant for a broader set of terms to represent outsider art communities such as the graffiti art community. The methods used to study terminological warrant by examining the language of the graffiti art community are helpful to give voice to artists who work outside the traditional art institution, allowing the way that they talk about their work and how they describe it to become part of the common discourse. It is hoped that this research will inspire others who design and supplement controlled vocabularies for use in the arts to give priority in descriptive practice to those who have been historically underrepresented or made invisible by default use of terminology that does not speak to their experiences.
VRA 2022 Session. Presenter: Douglas Peterson
In 2021, the National Archives of Estonia engaged Digital Transitions’ Service division, Pixel Acuity, to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to analyze part of its historic record. The objective was to use this tool to enhance their collection with descriptive metadata that identified persons of interest in a collection of over 8,000 photographic glass plate negatives, a task that would ordinarily take years of human labor. In this presentation, we discuss our approach to accurately detecting and identifying human subjects in transmissive media, our initial findings using commercially available AI models, and the subsequent refinements made to our workflow to generate the most accurate metadata. In addition to working with commercially available AI models, we developed strategies for validation of AI-generated results without additional human supervision, and explored the benefits of building bespoke, heritage-specific AI models. By combining all of these tools, we developed a highly customized solution that greatly expedited accurate metadata generation with minimal human oversight, operated efficiently on large collections, and supported discovery of novel content within the archive.
VRA 2022 Community Building Session. Presenter: Dacia Metes
Queens Memory is an ongoing community archiving program that engages with our local communities in our two-fold mission to (1) push local history collections out to the public through programming and online resources, and (2) pull new materials into our collections from the diverse communities of Queens, NYC. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our buildings, cease all in-person work and programming and shift our work to the virtual world. Our team quickly modified our processing workflow and asset tracking with the high volume of crowd-sourced donations coming through new online submission forms, set up in a rapid response to capture the stories coming from the pandemic’s first epicenter in the U.S. In my proposed conference session, I will discuss how we planned and managed the shift to fully online collection development. I will talk about our virtual outreach efforts to engage with the community and get them to contribute their materials, and how we developed the online tools and processes that allowed us to collect photographs, oral history interviews and other audio/visual materials, while also capturing the necessary metadata and consent forms. New internal communications channels, roles for volunteers, and triage processing for publication resulted from these efforts and are now essential parts of the team’s practices.
The document summarizes a workshop on accessibility guidance for digital cultural heritage collections. The workshop consists of two hours which include presentations on accessibility requirements and workflow strategies, a breakout activity where participants practice creating accessible descriptions for images, and a wrap-up discussion. The presentations cover topics such as common barriers to accessibility, guidelines for making images, video, audio and documents accessible, and best practices for incorporating accessibility into workflows. The breakout activity has participants work in groups to write alt-text and accessibility descriptions for sample images from online collections.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
This presentation was given by Meghan Musolff (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and Bryan Loar (Director of Knowledge Management & Research, SC search consultants) as part of the Engaging New Technologies session at the 2011 VRA + ARLIS/NA joint conference on March 26, 2011.
For the last section of the Engaging New Technologies session, my colleague Bryan and I are going to focus on productivity technologies.
Our formal goal for this section…..
… is to present technologies that you can use to bring organization to your life (both professional and personal).
But our real goal….
…is to make YOU more awesome than you already are! It is our hope that the technologies presented in this section will help you do just that and make you more productive along the way.
Why is this topic important?
It’s about utilizing and working in the cloud.
Cloud computing is a commonly heard buzzword and basically the idea is that information is stored elsewhere, rather than on your local computer. It’s about not being tethered to one computer and having access to YOUR information at anytime and from any location. It’s generally thought that working in the cloud leads us to be more productive and allows for more collaboration and improved project management. Technologies presented in this session utilize the cloud to help you be more productive.
It’s about avoiding information overload.
There is so much stuff out there [here's just an example of the amount of stuff added in the last 5 seconds...] (source: http://www.personalizemedia.com/garys-social-media-count/)
and it’s being created at such a speed that it’s hard to imagine, let alone keep track of. The technologies presented in this section will help you avoid information overload and separate the treasure from the trash.
While we want to avoid information overload, it’s also about keeping current and in this day and age, this is no easy task! That said, it’s an important job as our users expect us, as information professionals, to be on the cutting edge of what’s out there in new educational technologies.
Similar to other groups, we’re going to focus on what you need to know now (so Meghan is going to discuss technologies from the recent past and those used now) and the future (Bryan is going to discuss technologies for the nearfutureand the far-reaching future.
We’re going to divide our technologies into three separate categories: information management, project management, and task management. The plan is to discuss a few examples in each category, but more examples can be found on the Engaging New Technologies Diigo page (http://www.diigo.com/user/Engagingtech).
That said, there are also great all-around productivity sites like lifehacker.com (http://lifehacker.com/). This blog is devoted to “life hacks” or tips and advice for all sorts of areas of productivity for professional and personal life.
Let’s move onto the different categories. My goal is to provide you with a basic definition of the category and then an example of a technology you may or may not be familiar with from each category. Something to keep in mind, and an issue I address in my examples, is that unfortunately technologies come and go. Something we depended on yesterday, disappears (or comes with a cost!) today. But it’s about taking the skills learned from using that technology and applying them to a similar (but hopefully improved!) technology.
Our first category is information management. Technologies presented in this section help us answer the question: How do we make sense of all the information of there?
Hopefully, you’re all aware of RSS (or Real Simply Syndication) feeds. The idea is that RSS feeds exist to help us as both content creators and content consumers. You can use RSS feeds to push out new content to your users AND likewise gather new content for yourself from pretty much any online resource (website, blogs, etc.)
These feeds are commonly gathered into aggregators, with Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) and Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/) being popular choices.
Here’s a screenshot of Bloglines (which is typical of most aggregators; list of feeds on the right and then a reading pane where you are given a snippet of the feed). There was a Bloglines scare there for awhile, but it was acquired by a different company and seems to function in basically the same way as before…..
Also included in the category of information management, is the concept of social bookmarking or compiling a list of website links, describing them with tags, and then sharing these links with the public.
One of the most popular social bookmarking sites is delicious (http://www.delicious.com/). But, remember what I said about disappearing technologies? Delicious might not disappear, but its parent company Yahoo! is looking for buyers.
So, what are some alternatives?
The Engaging New Technologies group is using Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/user/Engagingtech) and I encourage you all to check it out to see both our resources, as well as to experiment with the technology. Google also has a social bookmarking site called Google Bookmarks (http://www.google.com/bookmarks).
Google Bookmarks allows you to “bookmark” sites, create lists of sites, and share the sites with others. In this screenshot, I've bookmarked some sites, created a list to organize the sites, and my colleague Bryan has shared his list of sites with me.
Our second category is project management. Technologies presented in the section help us answer the question: How do we easily and effectively collaborate with our peers?
So, for committee work and other collaborative projects, Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/) was really the go-to technology for project management. But what once was pretty awesome, has now become pretty meh. Google Groups has lost its functionality to upload files and has become pretty cumbersome to use.
There are a number of project management alternatives out there…
…but one I would like to briefly show is Onehub (http://onehub.com/). Onehub allows you to create one workspace for free (others are available for a price). You can add files, add tasks, create a committee calendar, have comment discussion threads, and share everything with others of your choosing. It also has a nice notification system.
And finally, task management. Technologies presented in this section answer the question: What tools exist to help us use our time better?
I love this category, because it’s really about taking old concepts, but implementing them with new technology.
Let’s take conductingpolls as an example. Pretty old concept, cavemen probably conducted polls.
But Doodle (http://www.doodle.com/) allows you to conduct polls online: Need to schedule a meeting? Vote on a topic? Doodle is awesome in that it allows you to create any type of poll and send it out to folks of your choosing. Now, you’re all hopefully familiar with this tool, but Doodle has recently made some changes. There is a new interface and homepage, the ability to link personal calendars for one-on-one meeting set-up, and Premium accounts for personalizing and branding polls—just to name a few changes. It goes back again the idea I mentioned in the introduction—having the ability to adjust easily to any changes that these technologies present.
Another old concept becomes new again is To-Do lists. “To-Do list” technologies can be crazy complicated and intense…
…but I really like teux deux (http://teuxdeux.com/).First of all it’s fun to say (perhaps with a beret, a neck scarf, and a glass of wine), but it’s the simplicity of the darn thing that I enjoy. Basically you just create to-do lists under specific days and there you go!
I also love that there is a “Someday” category. I have tons of things to add to my “Someday” list….
Thanks Meghan! In this section, we will further explore the categories Meghan covered and extrapolate current trends to peek into the future.
There are a number of great task management solution available. Although Remember the Milk (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/) has been out for a while, it has a catchy name and it works…
across multiple platforms and devices. The list includes iPhone, Android, Web-based applications, Microsoft Outlook, email, and text messaging. It is a great example of user-centric technology in the sense that users are not locked into one proprietary system.
Building upon the idea of cross-platform/cross-device solutions, we can envision the combination of some existing technologies.Microsoft Surface 2 was unveiled at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The large-scale device allows users to drop, drag, and input information through touch. Furthermore, the device can communicate with other mobile devices as well as ordinary objects that have special infrared tags.Also at the 2011 CES, LG demonstrated the thinnest organic light-emitting diode (OLED) televisions to date. With a depth of just 2.9 millimeters, the televisions could easily be mounted flush with a wall. And if the wall was curved? Sony has experimented with bendable OLED displays.Wacom’s pen tablet technology has been around for decades. More recently, software has been developed to recognize users’ handwriting and transform it into text. Imagine taking the thinness of OLEDs and combining it with the input and recognition features of Microsoft Surface and pen tablet technology. Now take that combination and create a large-scale productivity device, like the wall calendar, that works across platforms and with other devices.
5pm (http://www.5pmweb.com) and other cloud-based project management products like those listed offer a number of advantages over server-based products. Creating projects can begin immediately because IT is not needed to build the infrastructure. Many products like 5pm offer easy integration with Google docs and mobile devices. One of the greatest advantages of using products like 5pm is that there are…
No gatekeepers. In traditional project management solutions, you have to send your updates to the project manager who then updates the system.
With some cloud-based products like 5pm, you can send your update to your project manager, CC a special email associated with your project management account, and automatically update your project. This is a great advantage over traditional systems because users do not even have to go into the system. Instead, they use email which requiring little-to-no training.
Let’s take automation a step further. In the future, we may see the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) with project management (PM). By analyzing current and past projects as well as our communications, artificial intelligence may be able to suggest new projects, help with their creation, and assist during the project.
Simplicity has been a catch-phrase for some time. User interface specialists strive to provide clean, easy-to-use interfaces. Akin to simplicity is the creation of task-specific technologies. Instead of providing a smorgasbord of different, poorly designed utilities, engineers build a devices or pieces of software to accomplish precisely one utility really well.Readability (http://www.readability.com/) is a good example of this combination. The Internet browser add-on removes advertisements and other distractions to pare down content from news sites, blogs, and other sources to create a more enjoyable reading experience. What it does is…
To create a page that precisely communicates the information you want—without unnecessary options.
What if instead of adding layers to our reality (i.e. augmenting reality), we were able to remove unwanted distractions. Thus, we cut through the clutter of our environments to create a simplified reality.
Dashboards are a great way to collocate disparate sources of information into one, easily managed display. iGoogle (http://www.google.com/ig), Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com), and other dashboards can bring together customized search tools, portals to productivity applications, and RSS feeds.
Dentsu London and BERG have explored dashboardsthat are integrated into our typical media consumption. Here the firms have demonstrated a networked television that not only displays breaking national news but also updates from the user’s personal social network.For more information, please see the following:Media Surfaces: Incidental Mediahttp://www.dentsulondon.com/blog/2010/11/03/mediasurfaces/
Here again dashboards are highly integrated in TAT’s exploration of possible future screen technologies. Everyday surfaces could become dashboards allowing users to create fully customizable, information-rich environments. For more information, please see the following:The Future of Screen Technology: An Open Innovation Concept Videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7_mOdi3O5E
Ambient information is a concept where information-rich displays and environments are created without disrupting the user. Rainmeter (http://rainmeter.net) is an excellent example. The utility combines customizable dashboards and desktops in an aesthetically pleasing way. Here we see that Web-based information like the weather and Gmail are mixed with the user’s computer system information, calendar, and last song played in iTunes—all of which recede into the background and do not demand the user’s attention.
In “Screen We Aren’t Watching,” DentsuLondon and BERG have visualized the concept of ambient information. The screen automatically refreshes, displaying the user’s social network updates. The use of subdued colors and minimal contrast make the information available without demanding a person’s attention. BERG’s Jack Schulze draws a parallel between this concept and clocks—both continually display updated information without being disruptive. In the future, networked devices like this may be as ubiquitous as today’s wall clocks.
This concludes our presentation on engaging new and potential future productivity technologies. Thank you very much. Meghan and I hope you enjoyed this presentation, and we welcome your comments and further discussion. Please feel free to contact us.
