<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We just started using LibraryHost a couple of months ago and it is working out great so far. I sent this same query to the SAA Lone Arrangers list and only
got positive feedback about LibraryHost, which made me confident about moving forward. They also offer a free trial which is nice.

forward with branding in her absence. I have found that for our needs, I’ve been getting along just fine using the ASpace help center documentation, and it’s not really been a problem that we had to put off the training. We are creating a user guide which

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Forgive me if this has been brought up before and is a dead-horse topic, but as someone who is just beginning to implement ArchivesSpace, what are the advantages/disadvantages of LibraryHost as compared to Atlas and LYRASIS? As we are a small institution their
lower price points are attractive, but I'm wondering if that is because certain necessary services/aspects aren't being offered.<o:p></o:p></p>
