Planning for the future

Perhaps it's time for a Digital Commons reboot. That is to say, what is the direction the DC should take in the next academic year and beyond? Where are our energies best expended? How will Digital Commons be managed after I leave, and ideally as we prepare for the future while I am here!

Here are some parking lot items:

  1. Update and post the policies 
    1. What do we need policies for?
    2. Where should we host the policies?
    3. Who needs to approve them?
  2. Do a site review
    1. Are the pages current?
    2. Deans?
    3. Names of schools?
    4. Names of chairs
    5. URLs for the department website
    6. Are there collections without any content?
    7. Are there collections that should be updated - more content could be added?
  3. What languishing submissions do we have? Deal with those.
  4. Check filters on collections - especially Masters Theses - should change Within All Publications to Within (the specific collection). Otherwise, Senior Honor Theses for that department could show up.
