- Discussion about ARTstor cost – Artstor used to charge per asset; now is per storage. We are close to 1.5 TB which will move us to next higher rate. Replace tiff images with high res jpgs. Archivision Module 7 & 8 is a good candidate for image replacement.
- AV Task Force Update – The group is looking for use case scenarios of A/V materials, any input is helpful. Danielle is going to meet with Peter Hirtle to go over review and write down rights policy for all different cases. . Danielle will share the wiki with the group to look at triage. The group wants to develop a flowchart for making decisions about preserving a/v content. New system: Avalon, to talk to Kaltura, to deliver content for limited time to students. Hydra platform. Desi and Tre are interviewing departments about their AV assets and will be wrapping up interviews next spring. At that point, a white paper will be prepared for Anne Kenney and Ted Dodds.
