Miami Dade College



• Miami Dade College is a state-supported college with eight campuses
  and numerous outreach centers. We are the largest institution of
  higher education in the United States.
• Marketing Communications promotes institutional awareness by
  providing complete campaign development for academic programs
  and college events, utilizing print, broadcast and Web media.
• College Archives is a repository of documents, photographs and
  videos related to the history of Miami Dade College.
Digital Asset
Management Journey


Life Before DAM - RR

• File cabinets full of un-
  catalogued photos, contact
  sheets, CDs and
  publications, dating back 50
  years.

• Decentralization with the arrival
  and benefits of digital cameras.

• No digital asset management
  system in place.
Digital Asset Management Journey



Challenges - RD
• The digital revolution brought with it the digital information age. Once our
  institution switched to a fully digital media, the challenge was how to organize
  and make all those assets (digital images and metadata) available to a
  consistently more time demanding schedule, spread out workforce, and exterior
  entities.
• Once Portfolio was introduced, the College’s decentralized and campus-based
  media services divisions were encouraged to upload their assets. The
  Marketing Communications division had to encourage “buy-in” and consensus.
• Technical challenges: bandwidth, actual technical implementation, learning
  curve
• Determining technical standards and naming conventions
• Training

Portfolio Server Implementation



Chronology of implementation:

• Research on an organizational unit level (Marketing Communications).

• Meeting with CIO and other administrators to discuss feasibility and approval.

• Program purchase and subsequent meetings with IT.
Portfolio Server Implementation



• Determine image guidelines
  including file
  names, formats, resolution, etc
• First training sessions with
  artists, photographers, archives
  and media services (AV, etc.)
  personnel; trouble-shooting; and
  assign licenses as needed.
• Engineering and technical support
  from Extensis throughout process
  as usage increased. Dedicated
  MDC IT professionals supporting
  and moving process along.
• Branding the Image Bank and
  Archives (templates); Netpublish.
• Further training as users are
  added.

    METADATA
               • Analog assets (photos,
                 negatives, documents)
                 are digitized

               • Basic metadata is
                 assigned (via EXIF or
                 other fields)

               • Bulk import of digitized
                 assets to Portfolio, with
                 metadata mapped to
                 custom fields

               • Additional “tweaking” of
                 metadata as needed
Results–Successes

• Time saver – assets are readily available.
• Money saver – reduces duplication of efforts.
• Integral to college image and branding –
  important assets are always available,
  including images of VIPs that are used for
  media relations and publications.
• Internal asset sharing is easy.
• Allows for centralization of images in our
  multicampus system.
• Smart galleries allow us to immediately locate
  frequently requested assets (buildings, college
  president, etc.)
• External asset sharing is extremely fast and simple.
Results–Successes Cont.

• Facilitates access to important historical assets
• Foundation of our digital preservation strategy
• Enables metadata creation and management
Next Steps – The Journey Continues




    Evangelize to a wider
     audience, including        Incorporate video
    campus librarians and
           faculty.




   Add resources, including
     someone to assist in       Make more use of
   cataloguing and ensuring   product and database
   metadata follows college        integration
          standards

  1. Introductions: Irene G. Muñoz, Director, Marketing CommunicationsMiami Dade College is a state-supported college with eight campuses and numerous outreach centers. We are the largest institution of higher education in the United States, serving more than 170,000 students yearly. Currently, the College has more than 330,000 assets in Portfolio with 50 users licensed to upload. Through Netpublish, all college personnel can access digital assets.Marketing Communications promotes institutional awareness by providing complete campaign development for academic programs and college events, utilizing print, broadcast and Web media. Ricardo Delgado, the College’s senior graphic designer in the Marketing Communications department, will discuss how Portfolio serves this centralized department, and other decentralized organizational units in the College, including the campus-based media services departments.College Archives is a repository of documents, photographs, and videos related to the history of Miami Dade College
