Digital Asset Management

Policies and information regarding digital collections & digitization at Trinity

Request

Trinity Library’s Digital Asset Management team digitizes print, image, and AV materials, makes them accessible and preserves the digital files in perpetuity. 

We also ingest, process, and steward born-digital materials for the College Archives. 

We digitize for...

  • Courses
  • Publications
  • Collection Development
  • Scholarship & Research
  • Preservation

Request Digitization

Just like course reserves, you will access the LITC Ticketing System to request digitization of library or archival materials for addition to the library's digital repository, digital archives, teaching, presentation, research, or publication. 

Examples of items we have digitized include maps from periodicals, postcards and photographs from the Watkinson Library, Trinitiana (material from the college archives such as Trinity Yearbooks, Catalogs, Bulletins, Newspapers, Magazines, and more), images from books, and much more1

Questions? Ask Us! 

Please submit course reserves requests using the Ticketing System. If we do not own the item, we will purchase it! The course reserves request is a one-stop shop. 

Select "Make a Request," then "Library." 

Select "Course Reserves," then "Request this Service." 

Fill out the form with your desired items. The form will create a ticket that can be tracked by LITC staff. Once the form/ticket is submitted, staff will be able to start processing your requests, and you will be notified throughout the process and when the films are complete.

  • If the films are available in one of our databases, you will receive a link to access and share them.
  • If the film is digitized in Kaltura, we will link the film to your course. 

You are also able to browse your ticket history, so submitting requests through the form will keep a record of the films you request! 

To link or embed video from our streaming services into Moodle:

Visit the Library Catalog and click on "Databases" under the search bar. Select "Film and Media Studies" under subjects. 

Here is a quick list of where you will find videos, which you can then embed or link to Moodle: 

Items in Kaltura will automatically be embedded into your Moodle course. Find them on the left-hand side of the course page, under "Kaltura Media Gallery." 

Please utilize this blog post for assistance in embedding a film from one of our databases directly into your Moodle courses. Embedding the film will create a visible player for students to watch right in Moodle. You can also simply copy and paste the URL to the video into your course, which will lead students to the database with the film.
