Advancing the overarching goals of the  will be a complex undertaking that will require significant investment of resources (both time and money) over a sustained period of time. The project leadership plan outlines portional commitments of staff time at each library as a way of equitably distributing that work among Big Ten libraries by dividing it into many smaller projects (as opposed to one very large 鈥渃entral鈥� project, which would require significant up-front investment).

BIG Collection Steering Committee

The BIG Collection Steering Committee has guided the Big Ten Academic 九色视频 in implementing successful infrastructure and policy leading to the creation and deployment of the BIG Collection. It has acted as the umbrella for the initiative and executive steward of resources and strategy. The Steering Committee is responsible to the Library Deans and University Librarians  and has served as the oversight group for the BIG Collection Action Cohort.

Under the leadership of the Director of Library Initiatives, the committee has overseen and guided the strategy, direction, and resources for the BIG Collection to meet the objectives and aspirations stated by the University Librarians. Specifically, the team has:

鈥� Approved and stewards the long-term strategic roadmap
鈥� Reviewed and endorsed budgets and resource allocation for the design projects
鈥� Approved the project work cycles presented by the Action Cohort
鈥� Ensured alignment of projects across the initiative by weighing relative priorities
鈥� Recommended deviations from stated plans and objectives as needed to respond to emerging trends and campus situations
 鈥� Liaised with the Library Deans and University Librarians, providing them insight and advice on the projects
 鈥� Ensured the design and build of the BIG Collection respects and advances the values of our consortium and institutions

Membership

The members of the Steering Committee has supported the overall goals of the libraries to establish the BIG Collection, served as advocates for the project within their own cohort of Big Ten colleagues, and actively cultivated and guided large scale strategic initiatives across universities and entities.

The committee is intentionally diverse with respect to the institutions, perspectives, and backgrounds of its members. The committee members will be leaders in their institutions and in the field. While not all institutions will be represented on the committee at any one time, the committee is intended to have an active rotation to encourage fresh perspectives and engagement. The members are chosen by the Director of Library Initiatives, in consultation with the Library Dean liaisons to the committee.
