Image Tools are applications that provide access to image collections, usually some form of digital repository. “Digital Repositories”, as used here, run the gamut from a local file system to a full featured, server-based application such as DSpace or Harvestroad Hive®.
Among Image Tools, the most interesting are those that access multiple image repositories. This session will focus on those Image Tools that currently support (or will soon support) federated access to heterogeneous repositories. It will identify the features that make these tools useful in a classroom setting, and show examples of how some of these tools may be used. The related topics of: "Fair Use" of digital content, metadata, federated searching, authentication and authorization will also be discussed.
