New to SCRLC?

 Digitization Advisory Committee

Purpose

The Digitization Advisory Committee advises the South Central Regional Library Council on the planning, implementation, management, and funding of the regional digitizing program, as well as its participation in the statewide New York Heritage program. The regional and statewide digitization efforts are primarily concerned with access.

 

Statement on Open Metadata

As SCRLC and its members strive to produce factual metadata, we believe this is made stronger by a library's ability to effectively use, re-use, adapt, aggregate, and share the bibliographic, descriptive, and any other metadata created during the information life cycle.

 

Role

1. Recommend policies to the Board of Trustees regarding the digitization program.
2. Review short and long-term goals associated with the New York Heritage program and SCRLC's participation.
3. Ensures the collection development policy for the digitization program is up-to-date.
4. Evaluate and suggest digitizing training programs and continuing education programs.
5. Publicizes and markets New York Heritage within their libraries and cultural organizations and to prospective members.
