Study Abroad Program in Rome
The Greater New York Chapter of the Visual Resources Association met at Voorhees
Hall on October 6, 2006. The session was entitled “Journey from Simple
Automation of Slide Labels to Core 4.0 Compatible at Rutgers toward Goal of
Sharing Metadata”. The collection’s database grew out of the slide
database begun in 1985 and has seen numerous transformations to meet changing
standards and needs. During those 21 years over 300 student workers have contributed
to the contents and structure.
Presenters Chad Mills, Rutgers Libraries, Kevin Ford and Don Beetham Kevin Ford returned to speak about his programming to export data from the
Rutgers database to xml coding compatible with newly formulated VRA standards.
The xml programming was one of the many automation projects that Kevin had
done for the department during his tenure in the Visual Resources Collection.
A presentation on fitting the department’s complex database into Luna
Insight was given by Chad Mills of the Rutgers Libraries Systems Department.
Chad’s talk was a continuation of the close collaboration between the
Department of Art History and the RU Libraries on the Luna Insight project.
A summary of the history of the database and and a discussion about the issues
raised in modifying the database to reflect the new VRA standards was given
by Don Beetham. Slide Curators Gretchen Burch, Olivia Gruber and Stephen Alsa
assisted in the preparations for the meeting and the numerous details needed
to make the event run smoothly.
