<div dir="ltr">Hi Jessica and Elaine!<div><br></div><div>I am also "starting from scratch" and like Jessica I have a third party hosting for me but have no help from the campus IT department. I currently use Archon but the data I inherited is messy, incomplete, wildly incorrect, and nowhere near archival standards so I will not be importing any of it into ASpace but instead use it as a reference. I am also a lone arranger and forging ahead on this project solo while also managing all of the day to day archive requests.</div><div><br></div><div>Would love to have a little cohort of newbies that I can troubleshoot with!<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b><font size="2"><br></font></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><font size="2">Kate Wilson</font></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b>she / her / hers<br></b><div><b><i><font size="2">College Archivist</font></i></b></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12.8px">Saint Mary's College of California</span><br></div><div><a href="mailto:kfw3@stmarys-ca.edu" target="_blank">kfw3@stmarys-ca.edu</a></div><div>925-631-4231</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 5, 2021 at 1:19 PM Jessica Steytler <<a href="mailto:jasteytler@minlib.net" target="_blank">jasteytler@minlib.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Solidarity! <div>Are you doing the hosting yourself, Elaine? I was lucky enough to get the funding together for assistance in that realm.

<div>Who else among us are "trying to implement at all from zero" among us? I'm grateful to be paired with a fellow-user (hi, Kate!). I'm grateful, too, to have attended any of the forum this week, but the bit we can't replicate is milling around in person
and chatting to people where I'd meet the folks who are still wearing their swim floaties in this half an inch of water where we think we're gonna drown. (h/t John Prine)<br>
