Course Outline
Digital images are now all-pervasive in our daily lives, but finding the right images for specific needs, and delivering them in formats appropriate for the intended use, can be challenging for enquiry desk staff in all types of libraries. This session aims to provide a road map for those new to the subject, signposting the many issues to be considered, indicating short cuts for effective service delivery and sources of help for more in-depth solutions to complex enquiries.
Topics covered will range over:
- Locating sources: what to look for and where to look
- Digital libraries and repositories: cross searching effectively
- Embedded images: searching within documents
- Metadata content and ontologies: requirements for effective retrieval
- Format and delivery issues
- Technology developments
- Rights issues and commercial factors
- Storage and preservation: short and long-term issues
- Using images in teaching and learning: the role of the information specialist
- Collaborative development of educational resources
The workshop will comprise a mix of presentations and group work, and participants are encouraged to bring examples of image-related queries they have received to use as case studies in discussion.
Who should attend?
The workshop is aimed at anyone whose work involves the use of images, especially those new to the topic. Participants are welcome from any sector - university, college, government, NHS, charity, learned society, commercial etc. We all have much to learn from each other!
Course Presenter: Roger Mills
The day will be led by Roger Mills, Head of Science Liaison and Specialist Services for Oxford University Library Services.
