Harnessing the Lifecycle: Planning and Implementing a Strategic Digital Collections Infrastructure at the OSU Libraries
Emily Shaw, Head of Preservation and Reformatting & Terry Reese, Head of Digital Initiatives

The OSU Libraries did not enter the digital library sphere with an overarching strategy, a unified infrastructure, or standards-based workflows for managing the lifecycle of digital collections. For nearly a decade, digital content was created, acquired, described and managed in a fragmented smattering of siloed systems that became increasingly difficult to maintain and were ultimately incapable of achieving the long-term preservation and widespread sharing to which the Libraries aspiring.

Though the Libraries' institutional repository, the OSU Knowledge Bank, has been expertly managed for years, the DSpace platform alone is not well suited to the management of OSUL's wide and growing diversity of digital collections. Thus, for the past several years, the OSU Libraries has been investing heavily in planning and developing a robust digital collections infrastructure. Comprised of both local repositories like the Knowledge Bank and a Fedora repository we are calling the Master Objects Repository (MOR), as well as remote repositories like HathiTrust and the OhioLINK ETD Center, our overarching goal is to take control of the lifecycle of the digital content under our stewardship, and significantly enhance access, management and preservation in a way that is flexible, sustainable and cost effective.

Thus, as we begin stand up pieces of the new digital collections infrastructure, a team of colleagues from across the Libraries is creating policies for deciding what goes where for both new and legacy content, workflows for preparing content for ingest, and recommendations to prioritize ongoing development. This presentation will give an overview of our planning process and share some of the documentation currently under development.
