RECON: Action Report from ALA Midwinter 1/21/06
Challenge 1 RECON: Action Report
Edward Shreeves (Iowa)
The Recon group suggests hosting a meeting(s) in the near future to bring together the appropriate people and entities of expertise (ARL, LC, CRL, CLIR, CFL, etc) to:
1. look at the concept to see if it is still viable and practical;
2. look at an actual structure for managing a project of this kind;
3. develop a RFI that could be issued to determine if there are entities in place that could do some of the work.
The idea is to create a governance model of collaborative and shared ownership for creating this content. A show of hands from CCDO indicated that this challenge remained important and members would discuss it with their library directors.
