For Video Streaming/Delivery: Is HTML5 the Real Fix?
Millard, John; Tzoc, Elias
The general movement towards streaming or playing videos on the web has grown exponentially in the last decade. The combination of new streaming technologies and faster Internet connections continue to provide enhanced and robust user experience for video content. For many organizations, adding videos on their websites has transitioned from a “cool” feature to a mission critical service. Some of the benefits in putting videos online include: to engage and convert visitors, to raise awareness or drive interest, to share inspirational stories or recent unique events, etc. Along with the growth in the use and need for video content on the web; delivering videos online also remains a messy activity for developers and web teams. Examples of existing challenges include creating more accessible videos with captions and delivering content (using adaptive streaming) for the diverse range of mobile and tablet devices. In this article, we report on the decision-making and early results in using the Kaltura video platform in two popular library platforms: CONTENTdm and DSpace.

Automated Bulk Uploading of Images and Metadata to Flickr
Michel, Jason; Tzoc, Elias
The Digital Initiatives department at Miami University, like most Digital
Initiatives and Special Collections, has a large amount of rich digital image collections,
stored primarily in a third-party database. Typically, these databases aren't findable to
the average web user. It was our desire to expose these collections to the wider web
environment. We immediately thought of Flickr, the most prominent website for image
discovery and sharing. Our problem was scale; the default uploading interface was too
inefficient to push forward with the project. We developed a set of PHP scripts devised
to interact with Flickr's API to allow for quick and efficient uploading of images as well
as metadata such as titles, subjects, tags, and hyperlinks back to our collections. Once the
scripts were in place the uploading process was completely automatic. Miami University
Library’s Digital Initiatives department has uploaded over 5,000 images using this
method and the results have been outstanding. New users are consistently attracted to
the content and in about a year there have been nearly 200,000 views of our images. This
article will discuss Flickr and the importance of contributing library materials to these
types of social media sharing communities; explain the technology and programming
involved in the project, and discuss our results and the outcomes of project.
