Meeting Agendas & Minutes

June 22, 2015 Agenda

1. IR subgroup update: It has been a very interesting month for the IR subgroup, as events of the last several weeks have led to alterations in our original mission and timeline. Specifically, bepress put forth an offer for a campus-wide Digital Commons contract, and LEG weighed in on strategies for system evaluation and the CUL's move to Hydra. Discussion will focus not just on these events, but where the subgroup is headed for the next months.

September 22, 2014 Agenda

2. Report from the Hydra Pilot Group: Similarly, the Hydra pilot group has successfully migrated the Southeast Asia Visions Collection from DLXS to Hydra, and developments there have are highly relevant to the work RepoExec is doing. Danielle Mericle will report on their work.
3. Discussion of content subgroups: Attached please find the current draft of the content subgroup responsibilities. The first two items of discussion will inform what our subgroups will focus on, so I hope to wrap up with designating those areas of focus, and approve the description of responsibilities. Interested people can then volunteer via email.

August 25, 2014 Agenda

1. Oya and Dean will not be in attendance.
2. This is not a meeting that will be open, generally, nor am I sending this agenda to CU-LIB.
3. We will be discussing the purpose of RepoExec: not just the charge, but also what's been accomplished thus far, and where we need to go next. It has been discussed before, but considering what came up towards the end of last meeting and other conversations that have occurred since, it's clear that we still need to achieve some resolution.
4. While the functionality team will discuss what we've been working on, it will be in the context of the aforementioned discussion of purpose.

June 30, 2014 Agenda

1. Ohio State University Library Digital Initiatives Program: Gail brought this to our attention, and it seems very relevant to our committee's work. The Ohio State University Library created a Strategic Digital Initiatives Working Group to tackle a similar set of issues to those we're facing, and that group's work has resulted into a poster (see attached) and a set of guiding principles (detailed here and here). We'll start our meeting by the OSUL work, as well as what areas are relevant to the work of RepoExec. (I've also attached CUL's now somewhat older Operating Principles for Digital Assets as a potential point of comparison.)
2. Repository Functionality Working Group: This subgroup -- consisting of Danielle, Wendy, Michelle, Melissa, and me -- will discuss the progress we've made on constructing a framework for describing CUL repositories. We'll also have some questions for the committee as a whole.
3. Talking shop: The remaining time will be dedicated to committee members describing their current projects. 

April 22, 2014 Agenda

1. Repository Functionality Working Group: The group met earlier this week, and put together a plan of action for the coming weeks/months. We'll present that plan to the full committee for feedback.
2. What we're working on: Jean Pajerek, Melissa Wallace, and Michelle Paolillo will speak about the repository-related projects they're currently engaged in.
3. Open floor: With the time remaining, the floor will be opened for general feedback and questions, or for other committee members to report on their current projects.

February 6, 2014 Agenda

1. RepoInventory: I've attached a copy of the current version. Wendy, Michelle, Jason, and Jim will discuss our methodology, as well as the grey areas that remain. We will also answer questions that you may have about the survey.
2. Next steps: The survey is meant to be a jumping off point for further exploration and recommendation, and that's where I'd like to focus our energies tomorrow. I think splitting into working groups to focus on areas such as preservation, access/discoverability, service commitments, etc., will be the best way to spend the next couple of months. It's my hope that we can determine what those groups will be, and have at least an informal sense of their charges, by the end of the meeting. As with the survey, the actual lineups can be determined via email.
