Potential Collections Task Force

Melissa and Ryan

  • Dave met with Ryan and the SF State team in late January to talk through some potential development projects for collections (notes doc)

  • One potential project would be to review the existing collections work form and make recommendations on which metadata fields should be included. Decided that the group doesn't have capacity to take this on at this point, but should keep it in mind for the future.
