Project updates

All

• Digital Preservation Guidelines

  • In progress: Eric M. is adding in learning opportunities with some context (looking to April meeting for completion)

• Alma Digital

  • Northridge: Steve has gotten buy in from systems people to do testing

  • Sacramento: Erik B. has test collections set up in Primo VE; Primo VE makes the harvesting process more streamlined; Dublin Core metadata crosswalks nicely; Should be able to do evaluation by next month; Potential volume limits

  • Erik & Steve are going to meet in a few weeks to do an in depth look at their test instances and look at NZ collections;

  • Questions about porting outside data sources into Alma Digital collections/viewer: Alyssa will talk to Dave more about this since he is piping in ScholarWorks data to Primo (not Alma Digital but still applicable)

Other topics/goals for the remainder of the year

All

• From our to-do list:

  • In consultation with CO and MWG, create digital archives development plan to outline and sequence areas of DAMS for digital collections rollout (Alyssa, Steve, and Eric).

    • Alyssa needs to touch base with Lia Ryland about MWG/DAWG sub-group

  • Build/install Hyrax test environments (1-4 locations CSUCI, CPP, CSUN, CSUSM) to evaluate DAMS Functional Requirements and build workflows. Consult CO as needed (IN PROGRESS).

    • Not much testing done yet, hopefully more to come in Mar - June.
