Charter

• To design and implement the CUL infrastructure
  for handling multimedia assets.

Charge to the Team
I think that the design and implementation of
capabilities necessary to broadly support
management and use of diverse digital media is
one of the most important challenges for the
Library.  The charge to this team is to exercise
leadership in bringing significant new
capabilities into everyday use within the next
year. Tom Hickerson

Create a vision

• of the way multimedia assets will be handled by
  CUL, including the components that support the
  vision.

7
Procedure

• Create a vision for Library-centric MM services.
• Review existing projects for potential emulation
• Define needed components to support the vision.
• Establish criteria for software and hardware to
  address each component.
• Identify and gather information on hardware and
  software products and vendors.
• Update the vision based upon the information
  gained and the proposed implementation process.
• Apply the vision to known collections, e.g.
  Veterinary Procedures, Dr. Streeters project,
  C-Theory Multimedia, and general applications
  library-wide.
• Create a project plan (actions, resources,
  timeline) to implement the project.

8
SuggestionReverse engineering

• Lets find out what it takes to provide library
  support for MM services to the pilot projects
• Create a vision for other library services to
  support MM projects

9
Review current Cornell initiatives

• that address various components of the digital
  video and audio infrastructure.

10
Reverse Engineering

• Limit our vision to known collections, e.g.
  Veterinary Procedures, Dr. Streeters project,
  C-Theory Multimedia, and general applications
  library-wide.
• Create a project plan (actions, resources,
  timeline) to implement the projects.
• Define needed components to support the projects.
• Establish criteria for software and hardware to
  address each component.
• Identify and gather information on hardware and
  software products and vendors.
• Review other projects for potential emulation

Create a vision

• for library services to support MM projects,
• based upon the information gained and the
  proposed implementation process.
