October 26, 2021

Attendance: Morag Boyd, Miriam Centeno, Nena Couch, Courtney Hunt, Johanna Meetz, Dan Noonan, Terry Reese, Beth Snapp and Maureen Walsh

Guests: Sue Beck & Amy McCrory

Agenda:

  • Project Updates:
    • Initial Recommendations Report
    • Digital Preservation Ethos
    • Workflow analysis status
      • Area studies - no real need; would be similar to THOSC
      • Digital Preservation - Dan has started the SIPOC; it will be "drafty" at best as it is a very ad hoc process at  this point in time.
      • THOSC born digital for the time being can rely on similar workflows as identified by ARV, BICLM and Digital Preservation
    • Rubric Table-top Exercise v2
      • unstructured project descriptions made it difficult to rate in a reliable way; we really need a template
      • having proposer in the room would be valuable
      • Have discussion before scoring
      • Who has the info to properly assess
      • Elements in the rubric make sense
      • Some info may come from others than the proposer
      • It is valuable and useful and a barrier, but in a good gatekeeping way.
      • Having the discussion and understanding the resources is valuable
      • Similar to candidate vetting model (first cut) and is useful
      • Group rank vs individual rank
  • Photograph Scanning Sub-group Proposal/Recommendations (Miriam & Amy)
    • NC: If we are scanning photos and worried about future additional scanning and light exposure what do we need to consider? As well as how to handle photographic formats?
    • MC: This works well w/P&D annual goals. Selection considerations beyond handling and care go itnto these considerations.
      • NEDCC Leaflet (NEED LINK)
      • CLIR Selecting materials based on intellectual content report (NEED Link)
      • Additional decision trees (Canadian Council) and prioritization factors (other univs) (NEED Links)
      • Former work at UIUC for training students (NEED Link)
    • AM: Patron requests may be complicated, especially if the originals are fragile; how can the local curatorial staff make those decisions in the moment
      • Previously, Brittle Books project had a printed checklist to consider that evolved to an Access DB to track decision-making. It is no longer used, but also doesn't have a replacement
      • We do have existing scanning technical guidelines, and AM has either trained or created documentation; but implementation has been uneven, w/o an over-arching framework
      • Settings can be designed for particular projects, as well as content/material types; stations set up and personnel trained
      • In terms of light sensitive materials, we should also digitize only once.
      • We need to "build" a "tool" regarding the decision of who digitizes and with what equipment.
      • Workgroup:
        • Amy McCrory, Lisa Iacobellis, Check w/Tamar & Jenny
        • Keep it focused on photopgraphic materials, currently; could be broaden out in the future
  • Strategic Directions for 2022 DID NOT GET TO THIS PART OF THE AGENDA
    • DP&A membership
    • Potential Projects

Regrets: Miriam Centeno & Terry Reese

    • When should we scan photographs at preservation level or not? Among the issues are degradation on repeated exposure to light, various photographic processes/media/techniques, and space for preservation size images, so a range of inputs would be good. Is it just about photographs or the potential fragility of any scannable item?

...

Action Items Review

  • BTAA follow-up regarding checklists for digitization prioritization
    • Miriam - Preservation Group
    • Dan - Digital Preservation Group: reviewed email inquiries to BTAA and NDSA on 2020.06.12 re: Workflow capacity and "temporary" storage; only one response, and the sub-question "What prioritization metrics do you use?" was answered with, "Not sure what you mean here, prioritization of what?"
  • Create Selection Criteria Subgroup - defer this to discussion below

...

  • Gaps identified and categorized based upon issues raised during DP&A monthly meetings, and identified during the workflow analysis exercises. These were placed in the "Parking Lot": 
    1. Lack of digital content policy:
      1. Clarify the selection criteria for long-term preservation and stewardship versus transactional work that need to be discarded
      2. Is it in alignment with existing collection strategies?
      3. Is it in alignment with organizational goals/strategies?
      4. Investigate peer institution decision-making criteria?
    2. Lack of overall priority management:
      1. What drives the priority decisions?
      2. Who decides on the priority? (A committee once had the authority)
      3. What is an appropriate governance model?
    3. Lack of process controls (essential for a sustainable system)
      1. Develop rubric for life-cycle preservation decision-making
      2. Develop SOP for patron requests
    4. Lack of consolidated project documentation and designated repository for it
    5. Loss of transfer of knowledge resulting from staff turnover. 
  • Discussion prompts:
    • Identify what are our deepest priorities to set up task groups around; i.e. what are the one or two things over winter to get action going on?
    • Approach this activity in a mode of incremental or iterative change. It doesn’t have to be perfect out-of-the-box.
    • Who should be invited to the task group(s)?
    • What would a timeline for a first iteration look like?
    • What can be an exemplar?
  • Key Discussion points:
    • Gaps #3, 4 & 5 could be combined as having process controls, that are documented, and therefore able are available for knowledge transfer.
    • The gap analysis actually seems to be a good outline of a framework. While there may be a bit of "chicken and egg" aspect to it, it may lend itself to working relatively linearly from top to bottom.
    • With the SIPOC exercise happening at such a high and modelized level, actual technological gaps may not have yet been identified.
    • A lot of what we want to be able to do are resource dependent, human and technological. We have to be careful in articulating what we can and cannot do, based upon our resources.
    • Outside of traditional project-based digitization and patron requests, what other public services models could we consider to deploy?
    • What resources exist at Ohio State that are not in the Libraries that can be leveraged or referenced?
    • Need to identify the criteria elements (e.g. lifecycle categories, collection polices/strategies, ties to organizational strategies/policies, critical decision points/considerations, etc.)
  • Next Steps:
    • Form Digital Content Policy Workgroup:
      • Members:
        • Morag Boyd
        • Miriam Centeno
        • Nena Couch
        • Dan Noonan
        • Gene Springs
      • Charge:
        • Address Items 1a through 1d at a minimum, keeping track of when the investigation "spills into" (or intersects) with Issues 2 through 5.
        • Target Completion: January 31, 2021
    • Form a Priority Management Workgroup:
      • Members:
        • TBD
      • Charge:
        • Work will be dependent upon the initial findings of the Digital Content Policy Workgroup
        • Target Completion: March 31, 2021
