<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi, Phil. I’ll give you a brief answer and others will no doubt chime in.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Managing archival collections is much more than just the EAD finding aid. There is accession information, rights information, location (of digital and physical material), and the need to add notes that are not
public about content or processing, conservation, and other activities that are done on or about the archival materials. ArchivesSpace is a system that allows for the building of this collections management data over time. Displaying the findings aids to
the public is only one function for archival collections management and making those collections available and understandable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So, using both systems does make sense. They both do things that the other doesn’t do and there is a little bit of overlap also. Your archivists will be able to fill you in on how they manage their collections
and collections information and why they believe they need both systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> It is my understanding that Islandora and Hydra allow for the ingest & display of EAD records in their systems. Finding Aids could then be displayed via this systems. Are there libraries out there that are using both systems,
Islandora/Hydra and ASpace? I do not currently see the benefit of having both systems as they both accomplish similar tasks (creation, ingest, display, maintenance of EAD).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have both: what workflows are you using to get content from ASpace to Islandora or Hydra?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you decided one over the other: why? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to see what I am missing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any help with these questions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
