Finding and Collecting Images: Metagallery
The Visual Resources Collection (VRC) has released a new version of its website called the MetaGallery (http://images.library.yale.edu/metagallery/) which will allow you to collect, curate, and share digital objects for individual and classroom use. MetaGallery is a joint development between the Library and CMI2 (ITS Center for Media and Instructional Innovation).

MetaGallery Features
·        Collect images, video, audio, or text from the VRC and other online collections (e.g. ARTstor, museum websites, online journals, etc.), and upload unique materials you have stored on your computer.

·        Create groups of resources and share them (or keep them private). Example:  http://images.library.yale.edu/metagallery/index.asp?cmd=viewgal&oid=514

·        Annotate these resources and arrange them in an order that makes sense to you or to the viewers you are sharing them with.

Please join us for a discussion about the development of this new website and for tips about how you may use it in teaching and for personal research.
