The first, titled "Flickr Images: What & Why Museums Share" was co-authored with Cécile Bosshard, a current SLIS student. The second, part of the SIGVIS-sponsored panel Preserving Image-Based Cultural Heritage: Valuation, Negation, or Desertion, is titled "Context and Its Role in the Digital Presentation of Cultural Objects."
