Digital Services Team
Charge and membership
Charge
The Digital Services Team (DST) is charged with investigating, developing, and providing recommendations concerning collaborative digital services. Initiatives that have a broad potential budgetary or service impact are developed as recommendations for EC and Council consideration. Selected smaller projects do not require Council action but are presented as service options (opt in/out) subject to EC approval prior to launch. Each service proposal should address all topics relevant to beginning and sustaining a new service, such as start-up and recurring costs, distribution of fees, likely participants, technology, hardware depreciation, documentation needs, and how oversight and coordination are achieved on a continuing basis.
Approved without further review
- Code4Lib NW
DST will advise Alliance staff regarding the hosting of Code4Lib NW on a cost recovery basis (i.e., Alliance staff time contributed; no Alliance funding).
Service Options for EC approval
The following initiatives as described in the Institutional Repository Task Force report of October 9, 2009 and Digital Program Working Group report of September 8, 2009 will be developed as proposals and forwarded to EC for approval prior to launch.
- Cloud Storage
- Offline Storage
- Preservation training
