but nothing like what I am doing now. I also agree with some of the other sentiments about feeling lost with the main server. I hope that this one will be a bit more beginner friendly!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have gone back and fourth with spreadsheet uploads and Rapid Data Entry, but I have been struggling to find a way to batch upload child barcodes. Any suggestions?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.
