Brief introduction in Collection Policy Access & Technology

Charge:

• Coordinates policy and planning for integrated content access services across the Library. Oversees design and implementation of the technology infrastructure that supports and sustains the Library’s content access services. Formulates, documents, and publicizes UIUC’s Library-wide content access principles and policy that: (1) facilitate user discovery of and access to the materials in all the Library’s collections, regardless of format or location; (2) enable integrated access to the materials in UIUC’s collections via designated access and discovery systems supported by the Library; and (3) lay groundwork for the ongoing evolution of flexible, innovative, and user-friendly content access services for the University.
• Establishes overall principles and high-level guidelines which clearly define the extent and type of content access to be provided for each category of information resource owned, licensed, digitized, collected, locally created, or otherwise acquired by the Library (e.g., which types of resources get MARC records and are included in the Voyager database; which types of resources are made accessible via metadata; which resources are represented in the ORR; which types of resources are made accessible via a federated search system.)
• Designs an integrated information technology infrastructure that enables the Library to provide effective user access to collections and resources of all kinds and facilitates the creation of useful content and innovative services using standard software tools, metadata schema, object formats, and data exchange protocols that will make UIUC’s information resources sustainable over the long term.
• Collaborates with Library IT on setting priorities for the technical work needed to build and support the integrated content access infrastructure.
• Defines new technology-based projects to enhance access to Library content; specifies the scope and goals of each project plus the technical resources and staff expertise required to ensure its success.
• Appoints, coordinates, and oversees implementation groups to work on specific content access related projects.
