Charge
The purpose of the Digital Projects Oversight Committee (DPOC) is to:
manage the digital projects proposal process
evaluate the technical feasibility and the time required to execute proposed digital projects
oversee the projects once they are approved by the library administration
Furthermore, using the DCC's Curation Lifecycle Model as a guide, DPOC will:
Identify and document the ongoing, sequential or occasional digital curation activities we are currently undertaking. Examine how these stages interact with other stages and stakeholders, and which other steps we are engaged with indirectly.
Identify and document our needs in terms of digital curation. Things to consider: which steps are problematic or inefficient? Does the curation cycle break at any point risking our data? Are there any problems in our interactions with other stakeholders who form part of the chain?
Determine which tools we can use within our data management infrastructure to improve the quality and efficiency of our curation activities and ensure that future DPOC project efforts serve to fulfill those needs.
DPOC is comprised of the department heads of Digitization, Digital Access Services, Library Systems, Technology Integration Services, and Desktop Support Services.
