Re: diglib: Survey questions for Monday's meeting

[Sara Brownmiller <snb@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

Carol,

Note:  I'll bring copies of this to the meeting.

Here are some suggestions for the wording in the survey.  I thought we
should try to avoid yes/no questions, unless we have a strong followup
for more information.

9. Is there already a public interface to the digital materials?  If yes,
please provide a URL or other means of access to the interface.

11. What access restrictions are needed or an in place for the materials?
(Copyright,redistribution, etc.)

12.  Describe the long-term preservation requirements for materials in
this collection.  What retention or disposition schedules are associated
with these materials?

14.  Describe the file naming conventions to be used for materials in this
collection.

15.  What are the system requirements for creating, managing, or accessing
the materials?  What software must be used with these materials?  Does the
library already have a license for this software?  What is the ideal
software for accessing and using this collection?  If the ideal is not
possible, what other software options are there?

20. Provide any written procedures or documentation about the creation of
the collection.

And, it doesn't look as if we have any question about timeline for a
project.   Here's a possibility:

Once approved, provide a timeline for the completion of the project.
