Foundations and Organization
KU Scholars Engaging, Creating, Contributing to the World
To assist in defining KU-DLI directions and in identifying potential projects,
the Digital Library Executive Group (DLEG) serves
in a coordination role with the Director of the DLI. The DLEG is chaired by
the Vice Provost for Information Services.
The Digital Library Advisory Group (DLAG)
acts in an advisory capacity to the DLEG. The DLAG is composed of KU faculty
and staff selected to provide feedback on DLI directions and projects and to
act as information contacts for their colleagues.
Under the guidance of the DLEG and the DLI Director,
a number of initial steps have laid the foundation for the KU-DLI including
the development of Vision, Mission, and Principles
statements; the completion of the Technical
Infrastructure Task Force report which outlines the architecture and standards
to be implemented within the digital library; and the appointment of several
Working Groups which have developed
more detailed implementation plans based on the Task Force report.
