Digital Access Committee

 

kevin cawley.jpgCommittee Charge

The Digital Access Committee (DAC) identifies metadata guidelines, best practices, and protocols for making metadata and content accessible via the Catholic Portal.

2017/18 goals:

  • Develop access to full content via the portal using MARC records, EAD finding aids, and harvesting of OAI resources.
  • Expand outreach by contributing 3 to 5 blog entries on technical issues, by collaborating with the Membership Committee to support a scan-on-demand program, and by collaborating with the Liaisons Committee to support linking to the Portal.
  • Grow collections by offering help with MARCedit, the EAD template, or metadata. Offer a webinar on MARCedit, and continue one-on-one help.
  • Develop collaborative opportunities with other organizations: DAC suggests that CRRA members, scholars, librarians, archivists, and staff might contribute their own Catholic-research related blog posts. Though this goes beyond DAC's scope, DAC would provide any technical support that might be needed.
  • Develop a sustainable basis for carrying out the mission: support migration to hosted platforms for CRRA administration, to the Content Management System on the website, and for VuFind.
