Conference day 1 discussion, table 8


IMPORTANT EXISTING ISSUES:

-Training and staffing, particularly on the Library side. IT side has done some reallocation but has also had to ask for more staff. Perhaps this is an issue in 5.

-Metadata

-Standards

-Copyright policy

-Outreach and publicity

-Open source

-Duplicating purchased content: are they going directly to faculty? XanEDU, etc. Some charge the students directly.

NEW ISSUES
-Import and export tools and components, including intelligent content linking.

-What does integration mean? Seamlessness between systems.

-Balance between seamless/transparent publishing and branding/identification/provenance of resources.

-Add FACULTY to the list of Library/IT in any mention of partnerships.

-Are institutions REALLY going to archive courses over the long term?
