Abstract: The demand for digital images in higher education has increased dramatically in all disciplines, creating changes in pedagogical practice, a greater reliance on technological skills, and an expanded need for digital resources. This panel session is designed for art librarians and visual resources professionals interested in using innovative ways to expand their image collections and services to encompass disciplines outside of the arts. Speakers will discuss creative methods for outreach and marketing to broader audiences, strategies fostering collaboration, innovations in digital asset management for an array of subject areas, and models for promoting image-based fluency across campus.
