From DRC Confluence page: “The purpose of the Digital Repositories Committee is to ensure the necessary guidelines, priorities, and administration of a sustainable, systemwide institutional repository system (ScholarWorks), digital archives system, and related digital library services. Creating a sustainable digital library infrastructure requires:
Identifying and establishing ongoing funding / revenue sources and models
Adherence to international standards and best practices
Development and management of user-needed platforms
Development and management of user-needed services
Development of policies to mitigate risk (structural, physical, legal, information, etc.)
Support of open access initiatives, via technology integration and OA policy implementation”
