This is the message that I had sent to JQ to summarize my meeting with Deb. Carol >Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 14:11:34 -0800 >From: Carol Hixson <chixson@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU> >Subject: meeting with Deb >To: JQ Johnson <jqj@darkwing.uoregon.edu> >Cc: chixson@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU >X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.2.0.9 >Original-recipient: rfc822;chixson@oregon.uoregon.edu > >JQ, > >I met with Deb today and gave her the attached document >to focus our discussion. > >She agreed with the principles listed. > >She said that the Libraries would be willing to make a >multi-year commitment to our pilot projects, with >the further understanding that we would not make >any UNILATERAL decisions about archiving or >providing access to the content. > >She wants us to go after one student project and >one faculty project and liked either of the terminal >projects as the student project. She emphasized >the importance of getting a faculty member on board >who could champion the cause with other faculty. > >She prefers the DSpace model of decentralized >collection policy. > >She would like you and me to prepare a page or two >for her to focus her discussion with John and >Lorraine. In this discussion, she would talk to them >about getting some broader support from the campus >(in terms of resources) if we were going to expand >beyond the pilot projects. She does not envision >talking to a larger group of faculty until after we >have something up and running. > >She asked me if I thought we COULD provide >long-term support to both a student and a faculty >project. I told her "yes", depending on what the >projects were and assured her that we wouldn't >be moving forward with any project until we had >discussed it in greater detail with Admin. > >She strongly supports our approach of going >after some low-hanging fruit to get a better idea >of the issues and challenges before trying to >plan out all details for all possible projects. > >I also gave her a copy of the email I got >from Ross Atkinson in case she wanted to >pick up the phone and talk to anyone there >about their approach to the faculty.
