Charge
The Unique & Local Content Team provides broad oversight and leadership for the development, stewardship and dissemination of unique and local content. The Alliance values flexible, scalable approaches in support of new modes of scholarship, publication across the research lifecycle, and traditional and new uses of hidden collections in teaching and learning. As experts for the consortium, the team investigates and implements solutions for unique content needs, recommends consortium-wide practices, and supports an integrated approach for publishing, storing, discovering and preserving resources in our special collections, archives, and digital repositories.
ULC Team Work for FY19
During the first half of FY19 (July-December 2018), the Alliance is engaged in re-writing its Strategic Agenda. During that time, the team will focus on:
- Working with the Strategic Agenda;
- Managing ULC standing groups;
- Monitor changes in international and national standards relevant to the development, stewardship, and dissemination of unique and local content.
- Archival Collection Management Standing Group: Support use and implementation of ArchivesSpace;
- Dublin Core Best Practices Standing Group: Support standardization of Dublin Core metadata with documentation and training; support digital collections aggregation;
