UNC Chapel Hill uses Shared Shelf to manage and share media collections across campus departments and with other institutions. Shared Shelf allows cataloging of media collections, integration with ARTstor for access and preservation, and sharing of select collections publicly through Shared Shelf Commons. UNC case studies demonstrate how Shared Shelf supports institutional collections, an artists' book collection, and cataloging for the Ackland Art Museum collection. Potential partnerships with other libraries are discussed to strategically share image collections.

OCLC is piloting its new WorldCat Local service that will allow your library to customize WorldCat.org as a solution for local discovery and delivery services. WorldCat Local interoperates with locally maintained services like circulation, resource sharing and resolution to full text to present a locally branded interface to your patrons. Attend this session to learn how this new service works and to see the beta being run at the University of Washington Libraries.
HIMALDOC, based on Invenio software, was developed by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) as a tool for the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) regional repository on sustainable mountain development. The HKH region is the source of 10 large Asian river systems. They provide water, ecosystem services, and the basis for livelihoods to more than 210 million people. Much research has been done on social and environmental issues in the HKH by scholars from different universities, regional and international research organizations, governments and UN bodies. But the scientific results and data are either not available online or scattered on different web pages. HIMALDOC aims to collect, harvest and make these resources accessible. The availability of such specific information resources and data through a single interface is crucial to further research, development and policy making.

The Biodiversity Heritage Library and bibliographic citations: towards new u...Trish Rose-Sandler
The data model and user interface for the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) portal at http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ was originally designed to accommodate books and journals found in botanical garden libraries and natural history museums. As the size and reputation of the BHL grew, there were many publishers and individuals who wanted to contribute to the BHL but their content consisted of publication types at more granular levels, such as articles, book chapters, and dissertations. In order to ingest and serve these materials, in early 2011, BHL launched a separate portal called Citebank hosted at citebank.org. Currently, Citebank contains over 180,000 citations linked to content files, either hosted at citebank.org or hosted externally. While feedback on Citebank has been positive, users indicated a desire to combine both the services of the BHL portal and the services of the Citebank portal into a single interface in order to enable a unified search for all biodiversity literature. To respond to these needs, the BHL has begun expansion of its data model in the BHL portal to accommodate articles, book chapters, treatments and other segment-like material so that they can be searched alongside its traditional book and journal content. Parallel to this activity the NSF-funded Global Names Architecture (GNA) Project has enlisted Citebank to fulfill the role of a global biodiversity repository for bibliographic citations. In support of this, Citebank will provide a key functional component to the GNA - that of reconciliation services for citations. Once reconciled, citations can be linked either to scanned page images in the BHL, or to PDFs uploaded by users. If neither exists, citations can point to other digital representations online. Experience with Citebank has resulted in many lessons learned about working with diverse publication types; data formats; and contributors with varying levels of technical competencies. Those lessons were incorporated into a functional requirements document that is being used to inform development of the BHL data model. This talk will outline the functional requirements needed for a global citation repository for biodiversity and how those requirements will better serve the needs of the biodiversity community.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations.

3. What is Shared Shelf?
It’s a management software that enables
institutions to manage, store, use, and publish
their institutional and faculty media collections
within their institution or publicly on the Web.
http://www.artstor.org/shared-shelf/s-html/shared-shelf-home.shtml
As part of the ARTstor workspace, Shared Shelf allows for
collection-level control and different levels of user access.
ARTstor is designed for teaching and researching with images.
4. Why UNC Participates
Shared Shelf:
• Puts media collection cataloging tools in the
hands of collection managers across campus.
• Allows us to share collections not only across
UNC departments – it also allows us to share
collections across institutions.
• Shared Shelf Commons gives us a platform to
share select collections in an open
environment on the Web.
6. Cataloging & Authority Control
• SSN (Shared Shelf Names)—collaboratively
created/updated with all other Shared Shelf
subscribers across institutions, can
create, edit, develop records, ultimately links
to ULAN for authority control
• Direct lookup in AAT and TGN
• Can append other authority controls
(LCSH, TGM, local existing) or create new
7. ARTstor Integration
• Publish from multiple projects to a single ARTstor
collection, or from a single project to multiple
ARTstor collections
• Replace or suppress images or data in existing
records in ARTstor with nearly immediate publication
of changes in ARTstor environment
• Can restrict access to files according to which
collections in ARTstor are the publishing target (i.e.
can control file access on a collection by collection
basis)
8. Preservation
•
•
•
•
Bulk uploading from anywhere using a web browser
Unlimited size still image support
Some multimedia support
Storage and daily back up of source images on
multiple, geographically dispersed servers
• Automatic monitoring of server availability
• Level 1 preservation included to protect source files (NDSA
guidelines), working on providing other levels in future
• Export images, descriptive metadata and technical metadata
in standard format for ingestion into other local systems
(e.g., institutional repository)
9. Shared Shelf Commons
• Shared Shelf Commons is a free, open-access library of
images. Search and browse collections with tools to
zoom, print, export, and share images.
• Files appear in similar workspace environment as ARTstor, but
without requiring subscription to ARTstor for use.
• Images can be shared with anyone anywhere via generation
of an image-specific URL.
• NOT integrated with ARTstor (complicating use in shared
folders unless files also published to a hosted collection within
ARTstor)
10. Case Study:
Institutional Collections
•
•
•
•
•
Opportunity to create locally
shared image collections.
Academic departments and
individual faculty participate.
With Shared Shelf, cataloging
tools are in the hands of
collection creators and
customized metadata
standards are possible.
Good option for collections
that include images without
copyright privileges, for
teaching and research.
Potential to make certain
collections available via
Shared Shelf Commons.
11. Case Study:
Artists’ Book Collection
Accessible on the Web via Shared
Shelf Commons and in ARTstor.
Over 650 artists’ books - collection
strengths include:
• work from major artists’ book
presses such as Nexus
Press, Visual Studies
Workshop, and Women’s Studio
Workshop, among others
• Latin American artists’
books, especially from
Argentina, Cuba, and Mexico
• books featuring fine examples of
different printmaking methods
• work by North Carolina artists
12. Case Study:

Shelf to catalog their image
collection.
Project manager:
Scott Hankins, Associate Registrar
13. Potential ASERL Partnerships
• Strategic approach to shared image collections across
multiple institutions
– Saves time and money (shared cataloging, shared images)
– Shared expertise (sharing of unique metadata schema and
approaches to non-traditional data/images)
• Platforms to showcase multi-institution digitization
projects, in an online environment suitable for
teaching, research, and public outreach.
• Other partnerships may involve societies and institutes
(e.g., Society of Architectural Historians – SAHARA
project)
(Heather)Heather Gendron is head of the Sloane Art Library at UNC Chapel Hill and JJ Bauer is the Visual Resources Curator for the Art Department at UNC. Hi everyone, this is Heather. JJ and I both serve as ARTstor administrators for the UNC campus and we work with faculty to create collections in ARTstor using the tools in Shared Shelf. JJ led UNC’s early involvement in the development of the software and tools for what is now called Shared Shelf. What we’re going to do today is give you a brief introduction to Shared Shelf, talk about how we’ve been using it UNC, and we’ll talk about how the tools in Shared Shelf can support collaboration across your campus and across institutions within ASERL and beyond. JJ will then do a brief live demo of some cataloging in Shared Shelf so you can see how easy it is.First off, please click the “raise your hand” icon on the screen if your institution currently subscribes to ARTstor.Okay, now “raise your hand” if your institution already subscribes to Shared Shelf.At the end of our presentation, we’d love to hear from you how you’d like to use Shared Shelf – at your campus or with other ASERL institutions.
(Heather)Just briefly, here is some information about UNC Chapel Hill to give you some context. Although UNC is a very large institution with multiple partners, much of what we’ll talk about today is possible at institutions of any size.
(Heather)More information is available on the ARTstor website, including pricing information – but Shared Shelf, in a nutshell is….ARTstor seems willing to discuss group purchases.
(Heather)At UNC, we have subscribed to Shared Shelf because we want to continue the collaborative work we’ve been doing with faculty to build image collections for teaching and research. With Shared Shelf, we can put collection tools in the hands of faculty, library staff, and student assistants. (Heather)Visual Resources and Library staff are able to initiate projects in Shared Shelf, provide consultations for faculty on metadata and media formats, and in certain cases provide cataloging support. We’ve also how libraries can use Shared Shelf to showcase their special collections, in an environment conducive to teaching and research. ARTstor also now includes preservation hosting services for the media ingested into the Shared Shelf collections space.JJ is now going to describe ARTstor’s features in more detail. When she’s done, I’ll walk you through a few short cases describing how we’ve used Shared Shelf at UNC.
(JJ)Unlimited file size per asset (we pay for block of storage space, not per asset).
(JJ)Something about shared authority files..

(Heather) Currently the most popular use of Shared Shelf is for our “institutional collections”. These are collections which are developed locally by UNC faculty and librarians. For people working in the “digital humanities’” images and media are our “data”, and you can think of Shared Shelf as a repository, teaching and research platform for that data. Some of these institutional collections include media that are in the public domain, while other collections have copyright restrictions and the use of those collections is limited to UNC users. You can define access parameters within Shared Shelf, limiting access to users from your institution, to users with Instructor Status (typically faculty and graduate students, who can in turn share these restricted collections via course folders), or you can make a collection available on the open Web via Shared Shelf Commons.
(Heather) At the Sloane Art Library we have a growing collection of close to 700 artists’ books which are used regularly in Art Department courses. We think this collection has potential for use in other courses across campus so we decided to make the collection available to any UNC user and in the Shared Shelf Commons. Our Library Assistant worked with JJ to develop a metadata schema for the collection and our assistant and a graduate student assistant catalog the images in Shared Shelf. I’ve also been trained in Shared Shelf and I’ve found it very simply and easy to use. Knowing how easy it’s become, I think it’s possible that other librarians might take interest and work with their faculty to help them build media collections.
(Heather) UNC’s Ackland Art Museum has a fantastic educational outreach program that supports undergraduate and graduate courses across our campus. The works in the collection are organized into mini-exhibits in a Study Gallery for a range of courses. For instance, this semester the museum has mounted artwork in it’s Study Gallery for courses in Asian Studies, Religious Studies, and in English – in addition to Art Department courses. There is great demand for access to the Acklandcollection from faculty across campus. In recent years, the Ackland received an IMLS grant to re-photograph their collection and they brokered an agreement with ARTstor to make their images available as an ARTstor Digital Library collection, meaning these images will be available to any ARTstor subscriber. Having this collection online will greatly enhance access and research.TheAckland’s project manager Scott Hankins and his staff will be cataloging the museum’s images in Shared Shelf.
(Heather) We’ve talked about how different units on a single campus might partner and benefit from Shared Shelf. There may also be opportunities to collaborate on Shared Shelf projects across institutions or with other partners. One way institutions can collaborate is in creating collections together that build on each institution’s strengths. For instance, if your institution is strong in European art and another institution is stronger in Architectural history, then you may decide to broker an agreement for a shared image and media collection. Another option that could be explored is using Shared Shelf to showcase multi-institutional digitization projects.One example of a partnership that involved groups outside of universities is the SAHARA project – a partnership involving members in the Society of Architectural Historians We’re interested in hearing your ideas about these possible collaborations.Now I’m going to hand the controls back over to JJ so she can show you how to catalog an image in Shared Shelf.
