Shared Shelf is a platform for uploading, cataloging, managing, and sharing local media collections. It supports diverse non-art collections through metadata standards like Darwin Core and Astronomy Visualization Metadata. Collections on Shared Shelf can be made public on the web through sites like Shared Shelf Commons and DPLA, or kept private on the Shared Shelf hosted platform. Examples of institutions using Shared Shelf include NYU's archeology collection from Abydos and a 20-year collection of 1,300 Zambian stories from UC San Diego.

Can leave out of intro if showing SS commons live. Mention some of these details in visual cloud slide. Users managing content in Shared Shelf may also make their content available to the public in Shared Shelf Commons –an more basic version of ARTstor Workspace that allows users to search, browse, view, download and share content via URLs. -Colby College, U of Delaware, Cornell are first institutions to dip their toes in the water and their collections are now available- Shared Shelf Commons content is currenly not made available within the ARTstor Digital Library, but may be in the future. If collection managers want to make their local content available to internal users (at their institution alongside ADL content) as well as to public users on WWW, they can publish from Shared Shelf to both target collections.
The final collection I’d like to share with you today comes from NYU, and is a collection dedicated to NYU’s institute of fine arts’ archeological work in Abydos, Egypt. This is a fascinating collection and one which serves a unique community of archeologists and anthropologists. In this case, the cloud-based and collaborative nature of Shared Shelf is imperative in the work of these archeologists and catalogers, who actually use Shared Shelf on the dig sites, so that they can document and catalog artifacts as they are discovered, and their work as it unfolds. Using Shared Shelf in this way is incredibly valuable for those working on this project, because it allows for the cataloger to be there, on the dig site, allowing a much greater understanding of the resources, and also an increased availability of resources, which become available on a daily basis to scholars and researchers in the states.
UCSD saw the incredible value of these resources, and embarked on a project to preserve, catalog and expose this wonderful collection using Shared Shelf. One of the really nice things about Shared Shelf, is that it’s such a flexible platform which allows users to customize Shared Shelf’s cataloging tools to meet the needs of their collection. What we’re looking at here on this slide, is an example of a Shared Shelf cataloging screen, and you can see here, that UCSD has customized the metadata schema, and the different cataloging fields to meet the needs of this collection.
