Hi Jess! I'm June.

[A person smiling for the camera  Description automatically generated with medium confidence]

We've been using ASpace now for a little over a year and I still feel like a novice. We went through implementation sans a systems person, and just me trying to work things out with our IT folks. I read the list avidly trying to learn more, but I still am rather clueless about most of the technical side. It has been so helpful though, as I inherited an archive where nothing was inventoried and no finding aids existed at all, so I get the benefit of starting with a rather blank slate for my backlog. Good luck with your implementation.

Hi small institutions!
I'm Jess
[cid:image002.png at 01D78EA0.7AF18880]
I am an archivist who's mostly doing reference library work in a public setting, and the "lone arranger" of my department, but with at least some assistance. I get to be the project manager for implementing ArchivesSpace. We are going from the library's book-centric ILS/catalog, and whatever word documents or excel sheets or possibly access databases I can find that hold archive inventories/finding aids.

I have experience using ArchivesSpace from previous jobs, and even helped implement, but key word in this is "helped"- not run.

I'm grateful for the pairing program that ASpace does (Hi, Kate!) but I want to take a more active role, and all the conversations I've seen I don't really understand yet because I'm so close to the beginning. I wanted to say hi and see who else was in this space.

I am working on formulating my question to the greater group but right now I am mostly in the stare blankly at the wall of things I'm supposed to know how to do that I don't know how to do. Would love to hear from more folks here in listserv land who need to work up the courage to ask questions.

Best wishes, warmest regards-
