Join us for a demonstration of Glycerine, a IIIF-compatible image annotation platform for research, curation, and education.

We will begin with a brief introduction to the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), including how IIIF supports high-resolution image delivery, interoperability across repositories, and scholarly annotation workflows. This overview will provide useful context for faculty, graduate students, and digital scholarship practitioners who work with archival materials, visual culture collections, or digital exhibits.

Following the introduction, our guest speaker will provide a hands-on demonstration of Glycerine’s core features, including:

• Loading and navigating IIIF manifests
• Creating and managing annotations
• Collaborative and pedagogical use cases
• Integrating annotated materials into research and teaching workflows

This workshop is suitable for researchers, instructors, students, and anyone interested in image annotations and IIIF-based tools.

Guest Speaker: Isobel Andrews is Implementation and Design Lead at Systemik Solutions, an innovative consulting group and Digital Humanities lab based in Sydney. Systemik is the team behind Glycerine, a IIIF-compatible image annotation platform for research, curation, and education. Isobel consults directly with Digital Humanities clients to implement their projects using Glycerine and Systemik's other digital platforms. Her background is in information management and library sciences, and she champions FAIR principles in all areas of her work.
