Location: Hybrid: Zoom and Lamont Forum Room

Featured Presentation:

DRS Futures

The DRS Modernization project, known as "DRS Futures," is a transformative project aimed at modernizing the Harvard Library Digital Repository Service (DRS). This initiative, generously funded by the ITCRB (Harvard IT Capital Review Board), officially commenced on July 1, 2022, and is slated to span three years. The project is divided into three main phases: Discovery, Planning, and Implementation, with the anticipated release of the new service in Summer 2025.

The DRS Futures team will present an update on this work, focusing on our current efforts to modernize the infrastructure that surrounds the DRS in anticipation of the new solution, and our thoughts on ideal repository design. In addition, the team will talk about the ongoing change management approach, involving strong engagement with stakeholders and radical transparency about project goals and process to facilitate future adoption.

Tentative Agenda

We are continuing with our hybrid format. We hope to see as many of you there in person as are ready for that, and the rest of you on Zoom. We also hope to hear from our subgroups and new folks before our featured speaker.

The in-person option will start at noon to give time for lunch; the remote option will start at 12:30.
