Updates to existing content on Open.Michigan (suggested by someone at DLPS):

For the University of Michigan page (under community), should University Library also be listed? Since they are the makers of all of the listed Archives and Publishing projects? Or more specifically, the DLPS, SPO, as well as University Library (Deep Blue is part of UL). --- this has been discussed multiple times. we need to invite paul courant into the conversation and get his support.

Deep Blue description should mention that it's a library project. --- deep blue approved this description, but we can add that piece. Pieter 19:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

MBooks, should be changed to HathiTrust, a shared digital repository, etc. The link to Mirlyn could also link to the HathiTrust Base <a href= "http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/F/?local_base=hathitrust">Hathi Trust Digital Library search page</a> in the Mirlyn Library Catalog. Add link to the HathiTrust.org as well. --- we should take a stab at updating the description for them and send it to them. Pieter 19:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Update description for OAIster --- you'll have to clarify Pieter 19:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Projects which should be added to Open.Michigan

DLPS Collections: --- are these all Open Access projects? Pieter 19:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

American Verse Collection: American Poetry prior to 1920 http://quod.lib.umich.edu/a/amverse/project.html (Open Access)
The American Jewess: Journal from 1895 - 1899 http://quod.lib.umich.edu/a/amjewess/ (Open Access)

Access listed at http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/c/collsize/collsize?summ=all. 150 out of 316 collections have public access
Note: The DLPS text collections will be moved to HathiTrust but that migration will not be complete for ~2 years. A DLPS staffer requested that press be focused on HathiTrust over the older DLXS (DLPS) text collections

RideNow (from School of Information in 2004, it seems like this hasn't been updated in a long though, maybe we should write to Paul Resnick about this) http://sourceforge.net/projects/ridenow/
Cosign (registered in 2006, last updated in May 2008) http://sourceforge.net/projects/cosign/
Dodge This (3D Dodge-Ball game developed for EECS 494: Game Design, Fall 2007) http://sourceforge.net/projects/dodgethis/
UMich OAI Toolkit (developed by University Library in 2007, actively maintained) http://sourceforge.net/projects/umoaitoolkit/

Jack recently mentioned to the current SI 519 class that the University is distributing this to others for free, but I don't see any mention of that on the BAYU website yet --- this is probably something they aren't advertising yet, but we should be on the lookout for when it is advertised.
