HathiTrust Update on October 2013 Activities

[Jeremy York]

Please find attached our update on activities for the month of October. We have a number of exciting announcements this month:

1. We released Zephir, a new bibliographic data management system developed for HathiTrust by the California Digital Library.
2. We announced our intention to become a replicating node in the Digital Preservation Network, contingent upon acceptable terms for doing so.
3. We are issuing a broad call to HathiTrust members and non-members alike for cataloging records of US federal government publications to support HathiTrust's government documents initiative.

This month's newsletter also includes updates on an in-person Board meeting that took place in October and the Executive Director search, as well as updates on work related to ingest of locally-digitized content, the HathiTrust government documents registry, the HathiTrust Research Center, and more.

Best,

Jeremy York

Assistant Director, HathiTrust
