Gabe will do the ingest, the approval step will be turned off so no student help will be needed.
Phil and Stefanie [or IR manager?] will be brought into the new ProQuest->Dspace workflow asap.
Will the IR Manager manage this process from top to bottom?
Holly: MADS staff will still be doing quality control and metadata intensive work. The IR Manager would do the final approvals, while a metadata specialist would do the preliminary approval and correction of the metadata. Annie’s ok with this.
Stefanie will do the removal of the items in CDM (assuming they will be removed).
The fate of the pre-digital theses & dissertations currently housed in the ETD collection (they were digitized by DLI or SCRC)
These will be migrated to DSpace along with the rest
But, what will happen to pre-digital T&Ds digitized in the future? A new ingest process will be created.
The [tentative] plan for the long-term maintenance of the ETDs in DSpace.
Too early to seriously discuss this.
Issues of archival custody and permanence
Harvesting in DSpace would mirror current harvesting strategy… it will go to worldcat, OATD, etc.
ETDs are a TU university asset for which we’re responsible. Margery: the best practice would be to store copies of the files and the metadata on the Isilon. How would we do this through DSpace? Possibilities:
Extraction from DSpace, post ingest, would replace the current process, which is more cumbersome. This could be positive bc of DSpace’s built in checksumming, digipres capacity.
Open questions:
How to handle supplemental files related to regular ETD PDFs?
...
Embargoes… Separate embargo terms available for ProQuest and IR. Would we want to standardize these? The grad school workflow could be left in place and we could apply their selection across systems.
Decisions:
For digital preservation purposes, copies of ETD files will continue to be stored on the Isilon
