Please note: We are using Zoom Video Communications to host this webinar, taking a break from Adobe Connect temporarily. If this is your first time using Zoom, please join this Test meeting to make sure you are all set up: https://zoom.us/test Webinar description: At our Annual Member Forum, we announced our idea to facilitate an ?implementation buddy? program to help connect our ArchivesSpace community members so we can work through challenges together. We shared our thoughts on how stepping up as a mentor comes with the expectations that may exceed the bandwidth that most of our extremely busy community currently may have. Our vision for ?implementation buddies? aims to lift that burden of mentorship while connecting members who can help each other out in balanced harmony. We are offering a webinar on September 26 at 1-1:30pm ET (10-10:30am PT) to provide a background on the ASpace Implementation Buddy program as well as a detailed overview on how you can get involved, including a walkthrough of the ArchivesSpace Member Directory form (link to announcement) and the Implementation Buddy sign-up sheet. Please feel free to bring any questions you have. Presenters: Christine Kim (Community Engagement Coordinator, ArchivesSpace) is responsible for facilitating community activities, and is inspired by the incredible projects, initiatives, and accomplishments of the ASpace community. Who should attend: Everyone interested in learning about the ArchivesSpace implementation buddy program, as well as anyone who wants a deeper look at the member directory submission form. Questions?

The most current information is available on the ArchivesSpace wiki. Morning Workshops: The morning will feature two hands-on, engaging workshops. Please register for the workshop you are interested in attending. Each workshop is limited to 15 participants. * Workshop A: Choose Your ASpace Adventure * Instructor: Miloche Kottman, University of Kansas Libraries * The content of this workshop will be determined by a poll presented during registration check-out. Options include: * Option 1: Deep dive of Accession & Reource records: How to create an accession record, all about notes and spawning; How to create a resource record, all about notes, creating multi-level description, adding instance(s) * Option 2: Built-in ArchivesSpace efficiencies: Learn how to use Rapid Data Entry; set up default values for new accession, resource or digital object records; import EAD record with archival objects and merge with brief top-level resource record; controlled value list; default note order; LCNAF Import plugin; Container and Location management * Option 3: Controlling Data in ArchivesSpace: Data cleanup in ArchivesSpace; Cleaning up controlled values list; adding values to controlled values list; creating agent/subject records; merging duplicate agent/subject records * Workshop B: Introduction to Git and GitHub: A hands-on workshop * Instructor: Jamene Brooks-Kieffer, University of Kansas Libraries * Workshop Description: Git is a powerful open source version control tool that was originally designed for software development projects. GitHub is a web-based service that offers the functionality of Git plus additional features that enhance collaboration and project management. The combination of Git and GitHub creates a redundant, transparent, and reproducible work environment. However, accessing items available on GitHub (such as ArchivesSpace source code, documentation, and migration scripts) can be confusing and frustrating without training and practice. This workshop will introduce you to the basics of using Git on the command line, setting up your own GitHub repository, and contributing to projects hosted on GitHub. This workshop will also introduce you to using Markdown for formatting plain text files. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of Git, GitHub, Markdown, or the Unix-style command line to attend. Afternoon program: The afternoon session will highlight stories and experiences through presentations and group discussions. A catered lunch will be provided. * Speaker submissions: Currently accepting submissions! More info here: http://archivesspace.org/archives/3210 REGISTRATION Registration, including the "Workshop A: Choose Your ASpace Adventure" poll, is now open: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/archivesspace-regional-forum-kansas-city-2018-tickets-50618209427 HAPPY HOUR We will kick off the forum on November 29th (the night before) with an optional happy hour at Smokehouse Barbecue.

With this momentum, we'd like to explore new ways our community can collaborate, communicate, and engage with each other through an online forum! All community members are welcome to participate! We would love to highlight themes that are especially relevant to our small and very small community members, including our lone arrangers. We would also love to encourage our international (non-US) community members to participate in the planning as well, as we hope to offer a schedule that accommodates across time zones. Would you like to participate in a Working Group to help shape the program content for the online forum? Community members from institutions of all sizes are welcome, but we especially encourage our small and very small members as well as international (non-US) members to participate as we build this program. Response requested by November 15. Email Christine Kim at christine.kim at lyrasis.org. If you have any questions (or ideas) related to the regional forums, feel free to email Christine Kim at christine.kim at lyrasis.org. The regional forums are opportunities for our diverse ArchivesSpace members to meet up more locally to share and learn from each other through workshops, focused discussion sessions, and presentations. We look forward to having the content shaped by our community.
