[Archivesspace_Users_Group] LibraryHost

[Tummino, Annie]

Sorry folks! I was trying to send this to Clifford and mistakenly sent to the whole list. Well, if anyone else wants to see our Guide, there you have it. That’s what happens when you try to do things at the end of the day when you are about to leave.
Best,
Annie

P.S. I should add that this is really for creating resources (finding aids) and assumes you have already set up a repository and created an accession.

Thanks Annie -- we're in the same boat. Good to know that the training is on hold; maybe that'll give us a little time to get more of our stuff together.

I would be interested in seeing that user guide if it is not too much trouble. This is virgin territory for us though I have worked in porting out EAD to DAMs before... it's a little different.

Cheers,
Clifford

Hi Allen,
We just started using LibraryHost a couple of months ago and it is working out great so far. I sent this same query to the SAA Lone Arrangers list and only got positive feedback about LibraryHost, which made me confident about moving forward. They also offer a free trial which is nice.

Because we have no EAD files to begin with, we are starting with a  relatively clean slate, so we didn’t need assistance with migration. Generally speaking, I am sure starting from scratch is a lot easier than what large institutions are confronting.

I’ll note that the LibraryHost expert on ASpace is currently on maternity leave, so they are not able to do a training until she returns, but we are moving forward with branding in her absence. I have found that for our needs, I’ve been getting along just fine using the ASpace help center documentation, and it’s not really been a problem that we had to put off the training. We are creating a user guide which I’d be happy to share with you.

Hope this helps,
Annie

Hi All,

Forgive me if this has been brought up before and is a dead-horse topic, but as someone who is just beginning to implement ArchivesSpace, what are the advantages/disadvantages of LibraryHost as compared to Atlas and LYRASIS? As we are a small institution their lower price points are attractive, but I'm wondering if that is because certain necessary services/aspects aren't being offered.

Thanks so much in advance for weighing in.

Sincerely,
