2. Expand Digital Collections
In order to collect and organize up to 100,000 digital images over three years, insure images are appropriately identified, cataloged and organized for course support.

• Create metadata standards for cataloging images.
• Evaluate and implement efficient production environment.

Project Outcomes:
Guidelines for using Library Metadata Core Fields in Personal Insight

3. Software Integration
Explore and evaluate integration of Insight with a variety of packages used across the campus.

• Explore options for integration of images into classes.yale.edu.
• Develop additional ways to help faculty manage and integrate their own information sources/collections (personal collections).
• Explore mechanisms to integrate access to museum and gallery collections.
• Explore integration with Library tools including SFX, MetaLib and Orbis2.

4. Copyright Guidelines
Maintain guidelines for copyright compliance and respect for intelletual property rights relating to digital images.

• Develop understanding of using electronic resources for course support.
• Stay abreast of changes in copyright relating to digital and audio formats.

Project Outcomes:
Copyright Circulars

5. Instruction Services
Develop an instructional tool kit in collaboration with the ELI faculty support teams to facilitate use of digital images in teaching and learning. Specifically design instruction modules about:

• use of ELI-supported image management systems (e.g. Insight, DL) and campus web course tools ( e.g. classes.yale.edu) by students and faculty;
• "image literacy" skills to identify, retrieve and evaluate images, using various tools such as Insight, Orbis, Internet, finding aids, and museum catalogs;
• utilization of images in presentation and "publication" for course work such as creating Web sites, Power Point presentation, and student papers.

6. Assessment
Develop and apply systematic assessment throughout the project to gain insights into quality service and product design.

• Develop methods to evaluate the impact of digital images on the quality of teaching and learning, and evidence gained from application of these methods.
• Explore pedagogical methods for maximizing the effects of these tools in order to improve student learning.
• Develop an understanding of the infrastructure support needed for image collection to be accessible and used for teaching and learning.
• Document and periodically report results.
