Notas del editor
- Thank you, Sam, Karen, Patti, and all of the LAUC Assembly for the opportunity to publicly debut what we hope will be a wide and ongoing discussion of just how the UC’s will define Tech Services for the Next Generation. I am pleased that one of my colleagues on the Steering Team, Jim Dooley, is also here to join me in this ‘launch’.
- These are the points the presentation will cover
- NGTS picks up on the BSTF report in these areas, following up on NGM’s work on implementing recommendations to enhance search and retrieval, re-architect the OPAC
- These BSTF recommendations will now be reviewed and implemented at a system-wide and network level
- But it’s not like a great deal of this collaborative work and thinking has not already been underway for the last four years and more…
- One key thrust that’s a bit different with NGTS is that the work will encompass a rethink of all what has been considered ‘Technical Services’, beyond just thinking about cataloging. These are just some of the activities in UC and nationally that are converging to heighten the need to rethink TS. Most esp the Financial Pressures Requires harmonization of UC cataloging policies and process revisions for effective implementation Requires cooperative approaches to acquisitions practices Requires new ways of working with vendors (book and subscription agents)
- So the NGTS initiative was charged earlier this year and has spent the subsequent time crafting a vision and a plan.
- Read the charge. ID Low hanging fruit: Joint approval plans in process thru SPSTF, HOTS expertise worksheet, HOTS survey of shelfready services in use at the campuses.
- Note this graphic is based on Lorcan Dempsey’s “Some Context” presentation at the RLG Partners Meeting, Philadelphia, June 2, 2008. http://www.oclc.org/programs/events/2008-06-02a.pdf It is assumed that the work of NGTS will build not only on the strategic NGM devpt, but that the discovery pathways to the content will be many and will evolve and use a variety of tools. It assumes the collections will become increasingly diverse and digital. NGTS will build and expose the metadata and curate the content over appropriate life cycles of all these diverse collections of the UC Libraries.
- While not a perfect taxonomy (there is some overlap), these broadly defined resource groups can be characterized as having common life-cycles encompassing acq, description, access, and preservation or long-term retention. For these purposes, format is considered a secondary characteristic.
- Task force for each model will be charged to design and propose appropriate lifecycle models in each group, incorporating the values and principles as detailed earlier and in the Scope statement.
- The process is aimed to draw on the widespread expertise of all the stakeholders throughout the system, do a kind of environmental scan of existing and emerging tech services options, and, importantly to engender wide discussions throughout the campus libraries. In complementing CDC’s emerging vision on the UC Collections, NGTS will foster a culture change whereby the ‘commodity’ and common resources require less of our total UC staff time to support, and we are able to focus more on the resources that distinguish UC.
- Each group will be working on the same timetable of 3 phases.
