'''DLF WG on Labor in Digital Libraries, Archives and Museums: Valuing Labor Subgroup'''

Meeting minutes: February 21, 2018

Note-taker: Amy Wickner.

== Discuss Draft Research Agenda ==
'''Overview of the sections, rationale for each'''
* Relationship between ''Categories of Labor'' and ''Workers & Managers''?
** Categories is about how labor & workers are classified
** W&M is about relationships / transitions between categories or types of classification
** Next steps: organize & clarify these sections
* How to sequence topics - table for future meeting

'''Organizing references'''
* Footnotes may not work in a wiki (would be more like endnotes anyway)
* In-line citation to works in a standalone references section
* Add references to Zotero as they come up
** Thank you, Todd, for starting the process!
** Final reconciliation between the document and Zotero library will still be necessary
* LIS v. non-LIS references
** Keep predominant focus on LIS to understand the landscape of LIS research on relevant labor topics
** Include relevant material from other disciplines, especially to highlight where gaps exist in LIS research

'''Research agenda timeline'''
* Continue editing, discuss again at April meeting
* Working meeting (May/June) to resolve comments & write/edit together
* Open document to wider DLF community for feedback (summer/early fall, definitely before DLF '18)
* Where will this document eventually live?
** DLF wiki one possibility

== Guests: SAA Issues & Advocacy Section Steering Committee ==
[https://issuesandadvocacy.wordpress.com/2018/02/07/steering-share-considering-labor-models-in-archives-work/ '''Steering Share: Considering Labor Models in Archives Work''']
* Talking about expanding the scope of I&A to include issues such as labor, wanted to touch base with Labor WG, share ideas, explore possibilities for collaboration
* At least 2 steering committee members are especially interested in labor & have written blog posts about it
* Currently brainstorming about some kind of data collection around temp labor in archives, coming up with best practices document, probably similar to [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MVt7JhlRZapZdk4jefOsi9gLxuj1OOEZXAznoeLeYrA/edit best practices for grant-funded positions document] (Contingency & Precarity sub-group project)
* I&A is pretty open in terms of what issues interested in taking up
* Timeline for collaboration would be at least year & a half based on terms of chair & co-chair

'''Proposed project: Survey'''
* Very little research at the moment about temp labor, internships in archives
* Main point that comes up in conversation: we all know things are going on but would really like to get hard data to support it
* Unclear who would do this survey
* Lots of tension in trying to research unpaid internships re: role of professional organizations, which represent both workers and management
** see e.g. [https://www2.archivists.org/standards/best-practices-for-internships-as-a-component-of-graduate-archival-education SAA Best Practices for Internships as a Component of Graduate Archival Education]
** Who(m?) do professional organizations serve?

'''Q&A:'''

Q: Is this SAA expressing interest or individual members of I&A?

A: I&A members. SAA has so far not been open to talking about labor; there's no standalone labor group for example. Don't feel we need to ask permission to do this work, although might reconsider if we get pushback.

Q: What kinds of responses to the blog post?

A: Mostly social media likes, has sparked conversation among I&A steering committee but so far not many conversations. Blog feels a bit limited in what we can do.

Q: Current status of this project? Ready to start developing survey questions?

A: Probably ready to start developing questions, already brainstorming but nothing solidified at this point. Will share background & call for participation on email list for this group.

== Logistics ==
Let’s find a new, probably later meeting time! See Google Group for poll.
