<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a text field in ASpace to record appraisal comments? I’m not seeing one. Right now we’re putting our frank evaluations of the quality of a collection we acquire in the “Processing plan” field because these comments provide context
for decisions about processing levels (also recorded in that field). Curious if others record this kind of information, and if so, where. The “Appraisal” event is overkill for our purposes.<o:p></o:p></p>
