SALLIE (Stanford ALL-Image Exchange) is Stanford's campus-wide system for managing and sharing digital photo assets used for communications. Digital asset management (DAM) systems help organizations to store, organize, find, retrieve, and share their entire digital content catalog from one place — a single source of truth for valuable digital assets.
At Stanford, we call our DAM SALLIE – the Stanford ALL-Image Exchange – after Leland Stanford’s horse, Sallie Gardner.
Groups and departments at Stanford use SALLIE to store and manage collections of digital media assets, primarily photographs, to organize and “tag” files with metadata. Departments then have the option of making some, all, or none of their assets available to the rest of the Stanford community via the SALLIE web interface.
Stanford community members seeking photos to enliven websites, brochures, posters, or other media can log in to the SALLIE website to find and download images shared by various groups and departments. Metadata stored with each image provides information about usage rights and restrictions.
SALLIE is available for use by any school, department, or organization with a direct Stanford University affiliation. SALLIE is primarily intended for storing and managing communication-related assets; it is not intended for research, academic, or other types of digital assets. SALLIE is not available for personal use by individuals.
