  1. University of Utah Libraries’ Digital Collections Special Topicsin

  2. Using ClipImp to Display Multimedia Content in CONTENTdm Dave Adams Web Media Architect University Information Technology

  3. Clip-Imp Background • Grew organically from a specific but common scenario • Designed to support 3 specific roles: media managers, content publishers, viewing audience • ~5 years before YouTube / self-serve media publishing

  4. Clip-Imp supports 3 roles • Media managers / service providers • Content publishers, content owners • Viewing public, end users, browsers, mobile devices, aggregation services, search engines

  5. Media managers • Manage and organize lots of content • Delegated administration, custom configuration • Ease/eliminate the burden of implementation • Simple usage statistics

  6. Content publishers • No technical skill needed to include media along side other web content • Simple implementation methods • Permanent URLs / embed code, even if media changes

  7. Viewing public / end users • Aim to reliably deliver media to the end user on the first try • Context-sensitive help • Assist in downloading and installing players or plug-ins if needed • Easily customized views and integrations (Display templates, CONTENTdm, iTunes U, search engines)

  9. Clip-Imp Questions?

  10. Production Audio Video Workflow Kinza Masood Digital Production Manager J. Willard Marriott Library

  11. The A/V Production Workflow A journey of a source file (AIFF) to CONTENTdm Source Files (AIFF) CONTENTdm Play Clip FOOBAR2000 url Compressed Files (mp4) Ftp (WinScp) Streaming Server

  12. Tools needed to land an A/V object on CONTENTdm Ingredients: Source file File encoder (FOOBAR2000, Sorenson Squeeze Pro., etc.) Access to Streaming Server (ClipImp) An Ftp Client (WinScp)

  13. Audio Source files are converted to FLAC (for archiving) and mp4 for streaming Tools used for encoding audio files: FOOBAR 2000 (supported formats:MP3, MP4, AAC, CD Audio, WMA, Vorbis, FLAC, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, Musepack, Speex, AU, SND) ITunes (used sometimes) Example:Doris Duke Oral Histories- Read along and listen

  14. Video Source files are archived in original format for long term storage and compressed to mpeg4 for streaming purposes Tool used for encoding files (Sorensoon Squeez Pro- Dual Platform Software) Supported input platforms include: AAC, AC3, AIF/AIFF, ASF, AVC-Intra, AVI, DV, MOV, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VC-1, WAV, WMA, WMV Examples: Art Book Saltair Animation

  17. UScholar Works Represents the gamut of scholarship and creative research produced on campus What about the fine arts? http://content.lib.utah.edu/u?/ir-main,36685 Clip-imp essential tool to showcase performances Strong participation from sciences U-SKIS essential tool to manage publications June 3, 2010

  18. U-SKIS University Scholarly Knowledge Inventory System Ideal workflow to support our UScholar Works collection Accommodates multiple users Clearly-defined content queues Accountability External: Each work tracked in process Internal: Productivity gauge Archival features Stores faculty vitas, publisher policies, communications, permissions, content Bridge to CONTENTdm Seamless transfer of records into USpace from U-SKIS June 3, 2010

  20. Mapping Digital Collections Anne Morrow Digital Initiatives Librarian J. Willard Marriott Library

  21. Digital Image Maps • Browse Results Maps

  22. Digital Image Maps • ties a single object to specific location • Browse Results Maps ties a set of digital objects to a location

  23. Digital Image Maps

  24. Browse Results Maps

  25. Digital Image Map • Export metadata to .xls spreadsheet • Merge with coordinate metadata • Add html to .xls for thumbnail display and link to item in collection • Convert to .kmz using Earthpoint • Import .kmz to Google Earth and save to my places • Import .kmz to Google My Maps • Embed map or add link to map on Digital Library website • Browse Results Map • Utah History Encyclopedia • Query Builder used to create drop down query for each county • In Google Earth create polygon for each county, add query to polygon • Save as .kml/.kmz to my places • Import .kml/.kmz to Google My Maps • Embed map or add link to map on Digital Library website

  26. Digital Image Maps Run risk of becoming static as collection ` grows Best for static collections Browse Results Maps General terms maximize results but run risk of muddying results Best for dynamic collections Best for static collections

  27. digital object maps become more dynamic • increasing specificity on browse results maps • Single map interface • incorporate layers to create • separate areas of emphasis • (temporal, cultural, etc)

  28. University of Utah CONTENTdm Shared Knowledge Base Nancy Lombardo Information Technology Librarian Eccles Health Sciences Library

  29. University of Utah libraries share a CONTENTdm server work hard to communicate and collaborate in the use of this mission critical tool. A “CDM Core Group” serves to facilitate communication with monthly face-to-face meetings composed of members from each campus library CDM Core uses a wiki, TWiki, as a “Knowledge Base” to collect documentation on the use of CDM project information, upgrade information, issues and group meeting agenda and minutes are collected here U of U CDM Knowledge Base

  30. U of U CDM Knowledge Base • Review the CDM Core Twiki • http://library.med.utah.edu/twiki/bin/view/CDMCore/ • Invite other Western CDM User Group members to participate in the building of a shared documentation resource Demo
