Accruals

New site crawls are accrued semiannually.

In 2020, the website was captured biweekly. In 2021, the website was crawled monthly.

Appraisal

Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of psc-cuny.org, psccunygc.commons.gc.cuny.edu, docs.google.com, cunyrisingalliance.org, and psc-csi.org in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

Due to technical or privacy issues, archived websites may not be exact copies of the original website at the time of the web crawl. Certain file types will not be captured dependent on how they are embedded in the site. Other parts of websites that the crawler has difficulty capturing includes Javascript, streaming content, database-driven content, and highly interactive content.
