Body to which the group reports:
CARLI Board of Directors
Scope of work:
The CARLI Digital Collections User Group shall serve to coordinate the consortial aspects of CARLI’s CONTENTdm system, developing best practices and seeking opportunities for consortial collaboration in support of better access to digital collections and better service to users. The Digital Collections User Group may appoint necessary functional subgroups to assist the CARLI Office in planning education/training workshops, facilitating topical discussions, preparing recommendations concerning specifications, implementation, and ongoing support, and other topics of current need.
Member appointment and terms:
The initial DCUG members will be appointed for staggered terms of 1-3 years from a pool of volunteers and/or nominees, in order that a rotation system can be established whereby approximately a third of the committee membership is appointed each year. Appointees after the first year will serve 3-year terms beginning on July 1. Each spring volunteers will be solicited for the expiring terms. The CARLI Executive Committee has the final responsibility for appointing DCUG members. In the case of mid-term vacancies, the DCUG will recommend candidates, and the CARLI Executive Committee will appoint new committee members to fill the remaining portion of the term.
Expected reporting frequency:
The committee chair will submit a written report of committee’s activities to the CARLI Board at the end of the fiscal year (June 30). Additional updates on activities may be requested by the CARLI Board or Executive Director throughout the year
Timeline:

Staff or Board liaisons:
One CARLI Office staff representative will serve as the liaison to DCUG. When necessary, the DCUG Chair will report on committee plans and activities at the CARLI Board meetings. The DCUG chair or CARLI Office staff representative will report back to the committee on plans and activities discussed at the CARLI Board meetings.
Tasks required on completion of work:
Recommendations for new or enhanced CARLI products, services and programs should be sent to the CARLI Products & Services Vetting Committee or the CARLI Program Planning Committee. The DCUG Chair will forward other documents dealing with staffing, policy, and budget issues to the CARLI Board for review and approval.
