Two OH5 librarians named Library Journal’s Movers & Shakers
Technical Infrastructure Committee update
- DRC In A Box is progressing. Still needs lots of work but is moving forward.
Staff Development Committee update
- Instead of having faculty travel to a daylong workshop in May, we are proposing that we create short 3-5 minutes videos of faculty who’ve participated in the NGL grants at the various institutions. Videos could then be shared on the different campuses or even via the library/institution web sites. Events could also be held on individual campuses to promote projects.
Campus updates
- Oberlin: Getting more into Omeka work. Student projects upcoming. Also moving toward hosted Content DM. Shuffling content on hosted server to keep content under 50,000 items and costs down.
- OWU: Catalina is stepping in as the library liaison for a couple of our projects (Potters for Peace & Metal Work)
- Denison: Working on the Homestead project (photos, letters, etc.)
- Wooster: Shot video with faculty to use for promotion. Now in editing stage. Looks like it will be really helpful.
- Kenyon: Finalizing last dollars, funding for last projects. Other projects are nearing completion.
Status of Mellon grant funds
- Work on spending equipment funds. Need to get those spent.
- Campuses with remaining funds should get them committed by May.
- Susan is talking to the provost at Kenyon about GIS. Starting the conversation. May be more complex than initially thought.
- Keep Susan up to date with budgets if you haven’t done so already.
Other
- ERM Task Force: Move forward? Yes. Should be mix of public & technical services people. Perhaps each institution doesn’t need two reps. Send possible names to Amy to get things started.
