university through the use of advanced digital technologies in research, teaching, publishing, and collaborative

Some departments and individual faculty members do this for themselves. University Relations and PR office manages
digital image assets for their publications, and the Athletics Offices have large collections of images. I know of these
through casual hearsay only. There are no formal connections between these entities.
Some departments choose to place their digital images on university or commercial servers. Individual area/subject
specialists and cataloging unit Metadata Cataloger create and update catalog records and/or create/update metadata.
Depositing university units (e.g., Agriculture or Geophysics) sometimes provide metadata. I am speculating that both UH
Press and Hawaiian Historical Society have negotiated image use permissions for material that has been deposited in
our institutional repository and other digital collections.
The Office of Fair Practices &Legal Affairs is involved in negotiating image use permissions. Faculty of Dentistry is
adding metadata to their digital images.
The Visual Resources Center has a large collection of digital images, which they catalog and create metadata for. They
also occasionally field requests for image use permissions.
