Abstract

The University of Houston Libraries is currently undergoing a transition in Digital Asset Management systems. With current limitations of the Digital Library making video playback difficult, this presentation discusses use of Omeka, a free exhibit software, paired with YouTube video streaming to provide improved access to one small portion of the KUHT Collection, the work of Dr. Richard I. Evans.

Description

This presentation was given during a panel titled, “I Think You're Projecting: Improving Understanding of Moving Image Archives Users,” at the Society of American Archivists Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA.
