The Digital Collections Project Team is seeking Discovery's feedback on a project they inherited from phase 4.The "Digital Collections Decision Tree" is a tool to help campuses decide if they want to share their digital collections (typically archival, if I understood right) in UC Library Search and, if so, how to best represent those collections.

They're looking for our initial "hot take" on this tree and the documentation, as well as any questions or concerns we may have.

Further, they would like us to think about how to frame informative documentation to make the decision tree "mean something." For example, answering the question of WHY (and why not) a campus might want to share their digital collections in the first place, WHY they might not want to share the entire collection, etc.
