Session 5: Cross
Campus Collaboration in Building Digital
Image Collections: Strategies, Challenges,
and Benefits
The transition to digital media
in teaching and research is creating an
evolution of the roles and relationships
among various entities within universities.
Collaborations between libraries, visual
resources collections, information technology
professionals, administrators, and others
are increasingly important in creating,
maintaining, and delivering sustainable
digital image archives. Cooperative content
development and shared technical infrastructure
can result in broader access to more digital
content, but each requires negotiating
new modes of communication and partnership
in collection management, technical support,
and instructional services. While these
relationships can require the rethinking
of roles, funding models, and missions,
they can also encourage a mutual understanding
of the needs across campus and even foment
a sense of community and shared identity
that may not have existed among departments
before. Our speakers will address the
collaborative strategies employed at their
institutions in the development of digital
image archives, examining both the challenges
posed by the process and the benefits
realized by staff, faculty, students,
and administrators.
