Working with IT and ArchivesSpace: An Open Discussion: For many archivists, it is easy to get lost amongst the technical jargon within ArchivesSpace and for many IT professionals in libraries, navigating unfamiliar archival standards and terminology can be just as frustrating. Panelists Laney McGlohon (Technical Lead for ArchivesSpace) and Blake Carver (Systems Administrator at LYRASIS) will be joined by Jessica Crouch (Archivist, University of South Carolina Libraries) and Patrick Milhoan (Archivist, Notre Dame) for this lightly moderated question and answer session about all things technical. Please bring any questions you have ever wanted to ask about the technical side of ArchivesSpace or submit your question in advance to ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org.
