Partnership & Resources (3)
• Toward a Cloud Library
– CLIR, Mellon Foundation
– OCLC Research, NYU, HathiTrust, Recap Libraries
• Objective: Characterize the near-term opportunity for externalizing
management of academic research collections leveraging capacity
of large-scale shared print and digital repositories*
• Outcomes: opportunity and risk assessment based on aggregate
collection analysis; draft service agreement enabling generic
consumer library to selectively outsource preservation and access
of low-use research collections to large-scale print and digital
repositories
*From the RLG Partner Update January 7, 2010
Partnership & Resources (4)
• CRL TRAC Audit
– Portico and HathiTrust assessments timely
– “Certification will augment CRL’s strategic archiving of
print, and support a responsible transition to electroniconly formats where appropriate.”
– Work with UC to design shared print journal archiving
effort
– “With this hybrid strategy CRL hopes to enable its
community to accelerate the shift to electronic-only
resources in a careful and responsible manner.”

Partnership & Resources (5)
• New cost model
• Based on benefits to institutions
– Public Domain
– In-copyright
• Volumes “held”
Partnership & Resources (6)
• Timeline:
– Implement in 2013
– Accept new partners now with costs based on
overlap calculations
• Requirements:
– Print holdings database
– Update mechanisms
– Manual remediation

Technology – Architecture
• Inbound validation, standards-based
object storage and related metadata
• Storage in Ann Arbor and Indianapolis
• Encrypted backup to 3rd location
• Rights database for rights metadata
• Online catalog as source and storage for descriptive
metadata
Technology - Ingest
• Automatic validation in GROOVE
– Check barcode check digit using Luhn algorithm
– Fixity check on JPG2000, TIFF, UTF8 using MD5
– Well-formedness and embedded metadata check
on JPG2000, TIFF, UTF8 using JHOVE
• Creation of METS and PREMIS
Technology - Repository
• Isilon storage
• Simple filesystem layout
– One directory per volume, zip file and METS file
– Use of a namespace allows for conflicting
identifiers
– Namespaces for institutions and, if needed, types
of identifiers within the institution
Technology – METS Object
• Why METS?
– Can serve as Archival Information
Package and a Dissemination
Information Package
– Designed to record the relationship between
pieces of complex digital objects
– Can be created automatically as texts are loaded
or reloaded
– Preservation actions (PREMIS)
Technology – METS Object
• What’s there?
– metsHdr with an ID and CREATEDATE
– 2 dmdSecs: Marcxml and mdRef
– amdSec containing one techMD with PREMIS
metadata
– fileSec with 4 fileGrps (zip, images, OCR, hOCR)
– Physical structMap tying together files with
metadata (pg. numbers and features)
