As soon as possible (i.e., even before start of FY10) this should include hiring or re-allocating another permanent senior civil service staff member to DCC (this person would be responsible for preparing materials being digitized at the OCA scanning center in Oak Street and being outsourced to vendors; regularly updating the OCA tracking database; upgrade bib and holding record information as needed; search copyright renewal records; assist the unit head in preparation of files for the print-on-demand program, and other duties as described in the position description being submitted now to the Budget Subcommittee), establishing annual DCC budgets for a consistent level of outsourced (e.g., OCA) digitization, for supplies, equipment maintenance and replacement, and for undergraduate and/or graduate student assistants. The 33% GA currently assigned to IT-DSD could reasonably be reassigned to DCC effective 1 January 2009.
