What does the head of digital content management do? The main thing I'm doing right now is building the team and refining plans for the first year of the digital content management section. The section is functionally a start-up, so that means I'm working on bringing in new people to do digital content management to build out the capability in this space. [That's] the first thing...and then a lot of meetings with people to figure out exactly what the needs are and how we're going to go about addressing them. In the next year we are going to do a lot to support the [LC] Digital Collecting Plan, to start taking on that custodial role for a sizable portion of the institution's digital content, and also start a project to coordinate and codify practices across the institution for digital content management. Along with that, I'm catching up and working to support the Web Archiving Program, which is one of the biggest successes in developing core general digital collecting here.
