This webinar was originally scheduled for July 7, 2021, but has been rescheduled to September 1, 2021. In this webinar, Tomaro Taylor, Amanda Boczar, and Anastasia Temkina of USF Libraries - Tampa Special Collections will illustrate how they structured their complete migration to ArchivesSpace in a remote environment, including the active incorporation of student workers with various levels of archival experience. When: September 1, 2021 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? 12:00 pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p_-DXUf8S1KlEYmsheGujw This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: In February 2020, USF Libraries ? Tampa Special Collections formally began the process to migrate to ArchivesSpace. Those discussions quickly stalled, however, when the University asked that they begin to formulate continuity of operations plans for remote work in preparations for what was then a hypothetical shutdown. Early into lockdown, USF determined that it would actually be the perfect time to migrate to ArchivesSpace. The campus was closed, no Reading Room services could be provided, and staff wanted to engage in meaningful projects. Guiding a team consisting of librarians, staff, and student employees, Special Collections organized a multi-phase plan for preparing data for migration, undergoing migration, and cleaning records in ArchivesSpace. As staff begin to gain more physical access in 2021, they are finalizing the clean up and ready to engage with patrons using ArchivesSpace. In this webinar, Tomaro Taylor, Amanda Boczar, and Anastasia Temkina of USF Libraries - Tampa Special Collections will illustrate how they structured their complete migration to ArchivesSpace in a remote environment, including the active incorporation of student workers with various levels of archival experience. No one on staff had prior experience with ArchivesSpace and all members of the team were trained in stages. They will also address how this project encouraged a more holistic reassessment, including systematically evaluating finding aids for missing information, conscious editing of descriptive content and subject headings, and the addition of classification headers. A Q&A will follow. Presenter Information: Tomaro Taylor is the Head of Special Collections at the University of South Florida Libraries Tampa campus. A Certified Archivist, Tomaro has nearly 20 years of experience implementing policies, procedures, guidelines, and best practices in the archival field. She currently serves as President of the Academy of Certified Archivists and Co-Manager of the Society of American Archivists' Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) Exam. Amanda Boczar is Special Collections Operations Manager at the University of South Florida Libraries Tampa campus. Amanda holds a Ph.D. in History with over 12 years of experience in higher education, and joined the library in 2019. She was responsible for the migration to ArchivesSpace, and supervised student and employee training through the process. Ana Temkina is a student assistant at USF Libraries Tampa campus, Special Collections. She received her bachelor's degree in Library and Information Science, Children?s Literature track, from St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts, Russia. At USF she is doing her MA in Applied Anthropology and will soon graduate to continue her academic path at the University of Kentucky. Library work remains one of her great passions. Who should attend: Anyone interested in implementing ArchivesSpace, developing a migration plan or using ArchivesSpace remotely.

This optional program is aimed at helping people gain skills in areas like project management, decision making, and managing teams, and to improve confidence in leadership situations. We hope this will be helpful to you not just in your ArchivesSpace Council work, but also other professional and personal activities in which you are involved. We're starting with one live course and a suite of recorded trainings from LYRASIS Learning. Access is free as a perk of Council membership. Information and links to the recordings are available at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/2773975223/Council+Leadership+Training. (You will need to be logged into the wiki to see this page.) The live course, Managing Remote Teams, will be offered on September 10 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET/10:00-11:00 a.m. PT. Everyone on the Councils is welcome, but we especially encourage sub-teams leads and vice leads, and those who are considering leadership in the future, to attend. Please RSVP to me by August 27 if you would like to attend. The Coordinating Committee has also put together some resources specific to ArchivesSpace Council leadership and participation. More information about these will be sent out separately. Access to these training resources is happening on a pilot basis and there are many possibilities for how this program can be navigated and used by Council members who are interested. There was a great discussion of the program in the last UAC meeting, and it will be discussed at other upcoming TAC and UAC meetings as well. Please feel free to get in touch with me or your Council leaders if you have thoughts or questions. We look forward to your participation and feedback.

Version 3.0.2 is the direct result of community feedback about the migration of date sub-records attached to agents. The updated migration will create an equal number of new structured date sub-records from the pre-3.x date sub-records and do some parsing of date expressions in range dates into begin and end date expressions. If you previously upgraded to 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, this migration will be skipped. This version also fixes a bug uncovered with the spreadsheet importer for adding digital objects to archival objects. More information about what's in the release and the link to download it are at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/upgrading.html. If you have questions or need any assistance, please let us know. The timing of this smaller release is intended to meet the needs of institutions that need to complete an upgrade before the end of the summer. If you do not have that kind of time pressure, you may want to wait for the next version (which we anticipate to be 3.1.0) as we expect to put out a more typical release with the usual complement of bug fixes, feature enhancements, and infrastructure improvements in a few weeks.

Announcement from our colleagues at LYRASIS: LYRASIS 2021 Open Source Software Survey Report now available LYRASIS, the organizational home of ArchivesSpace, announces the release of the LYRASIS 2021 Open Source Software Survey: Understanding the Landscape of Open Source Software Support in American Libraries authored by Hannah Rosen, Strategist for Research and Scholarly Communication, and Jill Grogg, Strategist for Content and Scholarly Communication Initiatives. The report can be accessed on the new LYRASIS Research Repository at https://research.lyrasis.org/handle/20.500.12669/97. As a global nonprofit serving knowledge communities worldwide, LYRASIS invests in open source software (OSS) both as an institutional home for different OSS communities and as an OSS service provider. LYRASIS is the organizational home of ArchivesSpace, DSpace, CollectionSpace, Fedora, and VIVO. To better understand how GLAM institutions interact with these kinds of OSS programs, LYRASIS conducted a survey of its membership and users in the spring of 2021. The survey focused on challenges and opportunities in community-supported open source software (OSS). The survey questions were designed with input from LYRASIS members who were keenly interested in understanding how their peers support and advocate for OSS programs. The survey was divided into three sections: funding and support for OSS; justifying the use of OSS; and evaluating OSS. Included in this report are the results of the 2021 LYRASIS OSS survey along with an executive summary outlining the key findings from survey respondents. These findings paint a broad picture of the OSS landscape for libraries, archives, museums, and research institutions, particularly American academic institutions, and contextualize the current environment for OSS. The goal of the report is to provide the field with a better understanding of overarching attitudes within their community and to see where they fit within the spectrum. The survey results will hopefully also help institutions better justify and support OSS and help OSS communities better serve their communities and demonstrate their value. The OSS report grew from the research priorities set by the LYRASIS Leader?s Circle. The survey was conducted between March 1st and April 9th, 2021 and distributed via email to all LYRASIS members, as well as via two listservs run and maintained by LYRASIS staff, and sent to additional targeted groups within the LYRASIS community.
