Shared Shelf is Launched!

Megan Battey, Visual Resources Curator, reports that as of February 2011 Middlebury’s Visual Resources Collection is now accessible through ARTstor’s SharedShelf system. Shared Shelf is an on-line, cloud-based image management system for cataloging, accessing and using our local image collection seamlessly through the ARTstor interface. This offers many advantages – user-friendly cataloging tools, one-stop-shopping for our image users and reduced need for local infrastructure as our collection is now securely housed in “the cloud.” This represents the culmination of two years of work collaborating closely with ARTstor, LIS and eight other institutional partners (Colby, Cornell, Harvard, NYU, Society of Architectural Historians, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Miami and Yale University).

Middlebury’s is one of the first collections to go live in Shared Shelf, which will be released worldwide in July 2011. There are currently 3,143 images in the Middlebury collection, and the collection is growing as we continually add images to support the curriculum.

For more information about Shared Shelf, go to: http://www.artstor.org/shared-shelf/s-html/shared-shelf-home.shtml. To access our collection:

Go to http://www.artstor.org/index.shtml
Click “Go”
Click on “Middlebury Visual Resources” at the bottom. It is not necessary to log in.

Users can search all ARTstor collections together, or just our local collection. Faculty and students are already enthusiastically using the system and Megan looks forward to demonstrating Shared Shelf’s features at upcoming LIS meetings.

Faculty Innovators Tell Us What They Need

Alex Chapin — Tue, 04 May 2010 21:27:00 +0000

Our first priority with the Segue from Segue project is to make sure there are technology solutions available to meet the needs of as many faculty, students and staff as possible. That said, we would like to also be able to support innovative uses of technology, particularly those innovations that may eventually be useful to the broader community.

To this end, the Curricular Technology team invited a number of faculty who are innovators to show us how they have been using technology and tell us what they need. Faculty who participated included Jeff Byers (Chemistry and Biochemistry), Hector Vila (CTLR), Enrique Garcia (Spanish), Hope Tucker (Film and Media Culture) and Roberto Veguez (Spanish). A number of academic liaisons also participated in this session. To learn more about what these faculty have been doing, see:
