The library ILS is a good metaphor for ASpace and other similar collection management systems—an ILS displays catalog records to the public, but it also tracks various workflows such as acquisitions and circulation, integrating the physical and intellectual management of the collection with the descriptive metadata. ASpace is designed to do this in a way that is optimized for archival collections.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We may use Hydra as a front end for our EAD finding aids; we haven’t made that decision yet. If others have workflows for doing so, I’d be very interested to hear about them!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Melissa</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">

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 class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">So, using both systems does make sense.
