[Archivesspace_Users_Group] training a new staff member

Thu Oct 6 12:49:35 EDT 2022

Just a plug that if your staff member would also like a refresher on how to
think about the elements inside of ArchivesSpace once they learn how to use
the application (how to write good description!), the technical
subcommittee on DACS put together some very useful primer videos. It starts
here, talking about what a content standard does and why it is useful, and
goes from there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5toytzP8HM

Enjoy,
Maureen
