10 minutes | DAMS + MWG metadata timelines | Alyssa | Lia agreed that a small group for DAMs metadata would be useful Based on the time of year, we’d like to form this group in January Lia will bring it to MWG and ask for 1-2 participants, aiming for a small group What will representation look like from both groups?

15 minutes | Investigating Alma Digital | All | Ex Libris approached COLD about Alma Digital and a systemwide trialsystem-wide trial Sac State has an Esploro license; Alma D tools are already built into Alma, just without the ability to upload files (inventory manager roles, etc.); Benefits: existing expertise, does have viewers (still and multimedia, iiif), datastream file management, Current DAMS is Content DM, exploring as a potential replacement, analysis involves any loss of functionality when migrating 1 to 1 from DM to Alma D; Trying to test public interface without opening up test collections to the public; Can run a Controlled Digital Lending process (manages items/access); Adjustable metadata templates; Out of the box support for MARC + DC; Same MD editor that is used by tech services; Batch tools; Norm rules; Remaining questions about Alma D: permanent URLs/handles; OAI-PMH harvesting; Integration with external tools (APIs); Google indexing;
Rosetta: sounds like Alma D has grown out of pieces of Rosetta; One of the early benefits of Rosetta is the ability to construct collections (with landing pages); DRC would like us to do an analysis and make a recommendation Possible evaluation based on DAMS specifications report built out by Steve, Kevin and Alyssa Questions to posit in the analysis: What are the limitations? Functionally and discovery-wise; How does it differ from Rosetta?; Why are they offering this now? Balancing market needs, out of the box tools, and the need to maintain control of data; May be worth asking Ex Libris for a consortial test sandbox
Product page: https://exlibrisgroup.com/products/alma-library-services-platform/digital-resources/ We can potentially apply our DAMS evaluation rubric to for a base analysis, and an executive statement;
