Overview

Visual Resources@WSU is a collaboration of the Art History Department and University Libraries. It replaces the static analog system of slide carousels with digital access to images, audio, video, and text files. The content includes thousands of images of art, architecture, and world history. Users can search multiple collections, integrate institutional content with Flickr, create media groups and presentations, export contents, and embed content within the University's Blackboard course management system. The project's model for using metadata and controlled vocabulary makes the tool more widely usable by the university community at large.
