Digital Content Coordinators Meeting
January 30, 2006

Attending:  Eliz Breakstone, Sara Brownmiller, Faye Chadwell, Bob Felsing, 
Corey Harper, J.D. Hauger, Carol Hixson, Jon Jablonski, Lori Robare, Tom Stave

Updates:

Jon Jablonski reported on a project he's involved in for scanning campus 
planning maps. These will be fairly large TIFF files and they are thinking 
of adding them to Scholars' Bank, either in a new community/collection or 
as part of an existing collection. Scanning will be done at AAA.

Tom Stave reported on a project they are planning involving collecting 
documents from the Willamette National Forest web site. They have a meeting 
planned with Elaine Bernat to discuss the project. Initially, the plan is 
to capture the documents within Scholars' Bank.

J.D. reported that they have deployed a prototype for streaming audio 
access to music reserves as part of the digital audio initiative.

Corey reported on his work to reorganize some of the digital images 
collections relating to art images to comply with decisions made by the AAA 
project team when they met to discuss Art on File and Saskia images.

LOCKSS

The group discussed the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS model. Faye provided an overview 
and other members asked questions and provided additional bits of 
information. The general consensus was that the Digital Content 
Coordinators would recommend to Library Admin further exploration of the 
LOCKSS model and its feasibility. Faye, Sara, and Carol will work on 
drafting something to take forward to Library Admin and Council.

Digital Content Survey

Corey and Carol reported on their development and testing of a survey form 
using SurveyMonkey. The group reviewed the questions and answers from the 
sample collection that they had provided answers for. Carol will make 
modifications to the survey questions to take the group's suggestions into 
account. Jon, J.D., Bob, and Faye indicated their willingness to test out 
the survey form. Carol will also ask either Normandy or Erin to test out 
the form on one of the collections of digital materials under the control 
of Special Collections. When the form has been revised, Carol will notify 
the form test group so that they can fill out the form.
