***COLLECTIONID*** = 1078 (CRS reports collection)
why?
digital strategy• archive-it (subject/agency focus. i.e., CRS Reports, FOIA, bay
area govts, Iranian blogs)
• LOCKSS: LPN to host/preserve GPOAccess crawl 1991-2007 (@200gb). GAO legislative histories; early planning for a LOCKSS network of CA state agencies.
• Monthly file of urls to add to bib records and urls of digital docs to catalog.
• IADeposit: delicious project to tag and upload federal docs to the internet Archive's government documents collection.
• printing/binding/cataloging digital documents
what’s next?• analysis of current collections, focusing crawls, expanding and
building new collections (Intl treaties and standards, working papers, etc)
• more libraries involved in digital collections
• Farmington Plan Redux (collaborative collections)
• better access (create metadata, ingest into OPACs, google site maps...)
• better/open-source digital management tools
• open metadata standards and repositories
