Next-Generation Technical Services Update: June 2012 Review

Six of the Power of Three groups (POTs) have been charged and actively working since August 2011. Due to the complexity of “Developing policies and practices to implement a technical infrastructure for collaborative UC digital services,” POT 1 did not begin until January 2012.

 

To date, the groups have continued to build on the work of the earlier phases of NGTS as directed by the priorities set in the Council of University Librarians (CoUL) December 10, 2010 review [PDF]. The goals of these POTs are to find ways to make library technical services more efficient and to leverage expertise throughout UC.
