Summary and Scope of Work 

This CKG is a standing group of experts in the subject areas of Dance, Theater, Performance Studies, and Media Studies, including both librarians and archivists. This CKG communicates with and provides support to the UC Libraries Advisory Structure but does not make systemwide policy decisions, manage projects or project teams, or oversee ongoing services. The Performing Arts and Media Studies CKG encourages communication among librarians and archivists who regularly deal with relevant subject areas to help coordinate evaluation, purchasing, and licensing of current and emerging forms of resources needed to support the performance, scholarship, and teaching of dance, theater, performance, film, television, and media studies at the University of California.

Key Expectations 

This CKG will: 

• Gather and share information about the environment, opportunities, new technologies, best practices, and local campus developments within the fields of Dance, Theater, Performance Studies, and Media Studies.

• Provide input and information to other UC Libraries groups as requested.

• Conceive and advance innovative ideas and improvements relevant to the UC Libraries’ Systemwide Plan and Priorities.

• Advise on systemwide licensing or purchasing of new subject resources, for cross-campus use and sharing.

• Develop workflows and collaborate on building shareable collections.
