[2] Yes, with revisions [3] Some progress; more pending outcome of this recommendation. Revised implementation plan, combining digital content access and management and digital preservation repository efforts; The group under formation is a combination of the Repository and Scholarly Communications implementation team and a nascent Digital Content Access and Management team.

d. The IDEALS program within Library IT should assume responsibility for the planning and development of a Library-wide digital content repository solution, as well as the scholarly services that will support long-term digital asset preservation and serve as a backbone for digital content access and management systems. IDEALS will work closely with and will include in these efforts a diverse team of stakeholders, including staff from Preservation, IT-ISD, the Grainger Digital Library Technology Group, collections and public services librarians, and campus stakeholders such as CITES, LAS, I3 and iCHASS. The Scholarly Commons service programs will have a strong dependence on the success of these efforts. Initially, the Library can support this work with a 2-year visiting research programmer hire, with expectation that this position will need to be made permanent. This work is critical to protect our already substantial investment in locally held and digitized digital content. The Team recognizes that IT-IDEALS is the best-suited area to initiate this activity, and also recognizes that as this effort evolves, elements more suited to Preservation may be moved to that area, and the technology service development components may be amplified after the repository effort is addressed.
