April 16 in Olin 703

Agenda:

• Capturing video and images associated with 4 new MOOCs (Roberta)- Videos stream from Youtube, can download transcripts. Not currently going into Kaltura. Can we consider cataloging and considering a part of the collection. The videos make sense without the MOOC experience. There might be IP issues with student and faculty work. Need to work with Jaron to figure out the Library's involvement with MOOC's. Start a discussion with Liz and Jaron.
• Developments on CUL VR pages (Steven)- Kaila will create copyright for images page
• ARTstor mobile usability test, Steven will circulate a test to VRWG. Deadline of next Wednesday to respond.

March 19 in Olin 703

In attendance: Melissa, Steven, Hannah, Mira, Marcie, Marsha, Eisha, Tre, Kaila, Boris, Susette, Roberta

Agenda:

•  Images in the new Beta website, http://beta.library.cornell.edu/. The usability group plans to test functionality of both platforms (SharedShelf) and how these platform integrate with the website and how VRWG might be involved in this process (Steven)
• VR Page(s) on current CUL catalog (Marsha and Steven)
• A new group (RepoExec) is looking at high level issues around the digital platforms we employ, such as redundancy of systems, issues of discoverability, and preservation of digital content. The group is still trying to figure out the best way to approach these issues, but one thought is to break into groups by format. VRWG could play a significant role in a digital media/images group, but RepoExec has not settled an exact process yet.
• VRA Conference update (Mira and Hannah)
