I came across a very interesting article today by Michael Boock on the organizaation structure at Oregon State University:
Boock, M. (2008, September). Organizing for Digitization at Oregon State University: a Case Study and Comparison with ARL Libraries. Journal of Academic Librarianship, 34(5), 445-451. Retrieved October 6, 2008, from Academic Search Premier database.
I like the way he represents the various responsibilities in the following chart. The chart is read in columns, with 1 box indicating some responsibility, 2 boxes primary responsibility, and 3 boxes indicating sole responsibliity:
This matches what we’re doing at the University of Montana, if only that we’re thinking of digitization in terms of teams, instead of one solely responsible unit.
