ALCTS webinar: Restructuring & Reimagining Digital Collections

Date: Wednesday, February 6, 2019

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: In 2017 the University of Virginia Library administration
commissioned an internal task force to identify best practices for digital
project workflows. At the time, the process of moving digital collections
from idea to completion was opaque for all staff involved in the process,
and most were frustrated with both the process and the results. The ensuing
task force report articulated foundational principles, identified needed
tools, recommended specific changes to practice, and proposed an outline
for a comprehensive workflow. All recommendations were accepted by the
administration, and the Digital Collections Team was created in early 2018
to operationalize the recommendations. This effort includes a restructuring
and reimagining of workflows, as well as enabling culture change in how we
interact with each other and the content. This webinar will discuss the
roles and responsibilities of the membership in this multi-unit group, the
nascent workflows and experiments with new communication paths, as well as
the tools in use to support these new ways of interacting with each other
and the tasks associated with making digital content available.

Learning outcomes:

Share experiences with creating and documenting new workflows in
replacement of existing workflows as well as experiences with communication
and culture change

Who should attend?

Individuals working with dissemination of digital content and other
workflows driven aspects of librarianship
