California: UC Libraries Digital Collection Project Launches

June 13, 2013 by Gary Price

From a Blog Post by Ginny Steel, University Librarian, UCSC & Council of University Librarians (CoUL) Chair (via CDLINFO News):

In late 2011, the Council of University Librarians (CoUL) and the Systemwide Operations and Planning Advisory Group (SOPAG) asked the Next Generation Technical Services Management Team to charge a “Power of Three” team (NGTS POT1) with a set of priority actions, including:

  • Propose a model for a systemwide digital management system (DAMS) that meets the needs of those UC campus libraries that do not yet have one.
  • Develop requirements for a discovery and display system that can serve as the front-end user interface for an envisioned UC Libraries Digital Collection.
  • Develop an aggregation strategy that ensures UC campus libraries’ digital assets will be available for discovery and display as part of the future UC Libraries Digital Collection.

[Clip]
With the CoUL approval of the development of a UC Libraries Digital Collection systemwide service, including its endorsement of a technical model as proposed by NGTS POT1, the project will now be transitioned from its current place within the NGTS structure and into the established UC Libraries systemwide service structure.
CoUL has requested that the California Digital Library assume immediate responsibility for creating a UC Libraries Digital Collections implementation project team, and soon after, a centralized service operations team. Information about the implementation project will be made available publicly at: https://wiki.library.ucsf.edu/display/UCLDC/UCLDC+Implementation.
The conclusion of the NGTS POT1 work and the launch of the UC Libraries Digital Collection Implementation Project mark a significant milestone for the Next Generation Technical Services initiative. CoUL acknowledges and applauds the work of the NGTS Management Team [i], NGTS POT1 [ii], and the many dedicated individuals who served on the NGTS POT1 Lightning Teams [iii]. Their important contributions have brought the UC Libraries closer to its vision of a UC Libraries Digital Collection, supported by a robust systemwide technical, organizational, and service infrastructure. Thank you to all who have participated!
