- report from Meghan about North Carolina workshop
- map out other issues we need to tackle over the early summer with local grant project start ups and Catalina settling in
- review our digitization resources survey results-- discuss known hardware/software needs
- brief go round the table on any current non-grant projects at each institution
- plan to upload to google site local resource documents/links that will help Catalina study up on past and current local projects
- committee input to the staff survey
- draft job description for 18-month Interface Development intern/staff replacement position
Out of this discussion came the following action items:
- Meghan will send a summary report of the DigCCurr workshop, which includes implementation ideas for those areas most applicable to our project.
- Alan will revise/complete the OhioLink Dspace metadata application profile and share it with the committee so we can start thinking about identifying/sharing metadata plans.
- Alan will create an area on the NGL website for the committee to share documents related to existing collections and processes to help Catalina get up to speed.
- Each committee member will share relevant documents and links in area above.
- Each commitee member will add 1-2 questions to be included on the staff technical expertise survey. We'll do this on the NGL TIC website
- The committee will work with the Staff Development committee to set up a "project share" videoconference where each school can share the details of the approved projects. This should help us identify technical and staff development needs which relate to our proposed collections.
- We anticipate that staff development activities on the basics of metadata schemes and some more technical details of scanning (beyond the basics of pixels/resolutions) will be a high priority. We didn't discuss exactly what form the training may take and felt that we should take the specific grant projects into account before moving too far ahead.
- We talked with Mark Christel and decided to delay writing up a job description for the 1/2 time technical infrastructure position until Catalina is on board and we have a little more clarity, based on the local projects, what specific tasks we'd like this person to do. We did agree that, this should be a 0.5FTE/2 yr position, rather than more than 0.5 fte for a shorter period of time.
