Hi Kate,

*DACS* (or ISAD(G)/other national standards) explain the differences
between Conditions governing access
<https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/06_part_I/05_chapter_04/01_conditions_governing_access.html>
and Conditions governing use
<https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/06_part_I/05_chapter_04/04_conditions_governing_reproduction_and_use.html>.


There is definitely a lot of uncertainty in the community about how the
rights statements module in ArchivesSpace should be used.  All I can say is
that they are derived from PREMIS and it's not clear how different
organizations are using it.

All the best,

Dan

The Special Collections reading room is closed. As of March 18th, all
Special Collections staff will be working remotely. Smith course support is
our primary responsibility at this time.

Minimal reference services will be managed remotely by staff. Reference
inquiries that require access to physical materials will be held in order
of when they were received and responded to once the campus is reopened.
Expect a four to six week delay, minimum. There is a moratorium on
digitization services.
