[Archivesspace_Users_Group] LibraryHost

[Clifford Allen]

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
