Go to the UC Irvine’s Image Archive!
Updates (What’s new?):
-
New “organizations” structure implemented:
-
Justification: there was a need to supply users of other departments/organizations on campus to manage their own archives of images.
-
Accomplished by designating each user based on their departmental credentials.
-
For example, a user from Athletics can maintain athletic’s images, the library could have it’s own set of image ownership, etc…
-
Guests and non-admin users of the image archive will see a bridged collection of all these organizationally compartmentalized image assets.
-
-
New user role, “Manager”:
-
Justification: by creating organizational compartments for the archive, the Administrator role was a global role which could not be compartmentalized to one particular organization.
-
A Manager can simply be the administrator for their own organization.
-
-
Collections:
-
Justification: we have to be able to supply a bundle of image assets not just based on a topic, event, or subject, but also a broader level of these, as well as image types and purpose.
-
A larger “set” for sets.
-
-
Impromptu batch editing:
-
Instead of having to create a group of images in order to batch edit them, administrators can now select any random images from the admin area’s asset listings.
-
-
Images and Sets have more visible flagging of whether they are Public/Private (whether they show up to non-administering users or not).
Potential Organization Stakeholders:
-
Since Strategic Comms/News is not the only provider of image assets on campus, and now that we have the organization infrastructure in place, the image archive is a potential tool for:
-
Admissions (recruitment marketing)
-
Athletics (sports highlights, promotions, and marketing)
-
Arts (exposure to the community)
-
Advancement
-
Libraries (external archive distribution)
- any other department or school that has a need to manage and share image media assets digitally.
-
Planned for the Next Phase:
-
Extensive list filtering for assets.
-
Quick toggling of asset/set publicity (public/private).
