Revised CHARTER
Preservation Common Knowledge Group
APRIL 2016
1. Summary
The Preservation Common Knowledge Group (CKG) is a standing group of experts and pioneers in the areas of preservation and digital reformatting. 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.
Our current documentation is available here: https://wiki.library.ucsf.edu/display/UCLCKG/Preservation+CKG. Documents produced by the group in previous years as the Preservation Advisory Group (PAG) can be found at http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/pag.
2. Scope of work
The Preservation CKG provides a forum for discussing preservation activities, including work in the “traditional” areas of preservation (binding, repair and conservation, disaster recovery, environmental monitoring) as well as digitization of analog collections and digital preservation. PRES-CKG has also contributed to broader collection management considerations; including shared print and retention decisions, within the scope of how these activities fit in a broader preservation strategy and how material condition and storage environment data affect decisions.
3. Key Responsibilities
PRES-CKG key responsibilities are to:
- Gather and share information about project opportunities, new technologies or practices, the broader preservation and digitization environment, and local campus developments
- Receive ideas from various UC constituents, discuss them, and assess their potential for new system-wide services and/or service improvements
- Develop and advance innovative ideas, services, and/or improvements relevant to the University of California Libraries Systemwide Plan and Priorities
- Take on other topics or strategic developments relevant to preservation and reformatting and within the limits of the CKG guidelines
