| How Does ArchivesSpace Work for You? | Laurel McPhee (University of California San Diego): If you’ve ever wanted to view and play with all of your collection data—from every ArchivesSpace table—in Access or Excel, an ODBC connection is the solution for you. Learn how to set up this one-way connection and query your way to easy reports and a greater understanding of your database. Miloche Kottman (University of Kansas): ArchivesSpace has several built-in ways to ensure consistent data entry which is particularly useful when working with student and volunteer staff. I’ll show where/how you can set up these data entry shortcuts in ArchivesSpace and also discuss our use of MacroExpress to ensure additional data entry standardization. Lora Davis (Johns Hopkins University) Mark Custer (Yale University) Sarah Tanner (Atlanta University Center) Joshua Shaw (Dartmouth College): We found that the ArchivesSpace staff search interface wasn’t as useful for discovery purposes as it might be, especially for our public services people. Here’s what we changed and added and an overview of how we did it. I’ll also talk briefly about some of the other customizations and integrations we’ve made, as well as our (early!) plans for a basic circulation plugin. Chair: Jaime Margalotti, University of Delaware | Exhibition Hall |

Afterwards
There will be a post-Forum mixer, co-hosted by Registered Service Provider Atlas Systems, at the Hilton Atlanta in Rooms 406/407 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Extend your conversations from the Member Forum, or, if you weren’t able to join us for the Forum, come for light food and drink and to catch up with other ArchivesSpace users as a warmup to your evening in Atlanta. An RSVP to Christine (christine.dibella@lyrasis.org) from those not registered for the Forum would be appreciated so that we are sure to have enough on hand.
Staying Connected
The library has free wi-fi and you’re welcome to bring any devices you’d like to connect. We encourage people to tweet any portion of the meeting - or to tweet questions for the meeting sessions from afar - using our suggested hashtag: #aspacemembers16
