SAA Council Drafts New Strategic Goals, Adopts DACS Revision

The SAA Council at its January 23-26 meeting devoted nine hours to developing a high-level first draft of a five-year Strategic Plan for SAA.  Armed with member comments received in advance, the Council focused on identifying goals and strategies. A draft will be circulated to members for comment later this spring following additional refinement.  As the draft evolves, additional feedback will be sought—including at an Annual Meeting forum in August.  In other action, the Council adopted a revised version of Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) prepared by the Standards Committee’s Technical Subcommittee on DACS.  Read more about the Council meeting here.
