Goals of this regional forum & Role of this working group
10 min
Program agenda
15 min
Program content (presentations, workshop, etc.)
item level description, especially when you're digitizing something.
item level description, of drafts of published materials
also interested in learning more about api
also learning some of the functionality that is out there, that isn't out of the box
how other institutions have approached in a policy way – how it's being rolled out, how they're using it (and less of a technical way)
examples of actual practice, e.g. digital objects
workbook has a lot of basics, but not a lot of examples of what other people are doing and how their finding aids look, and where info goes, and dacs is so loose on some of these. at component level, not collection level
invited speakers: local or anyone interesting? – Kim to look into costs
look at users listserv to figure out what people are working on?
Harvard – aspace working group, all of the repositories are using aspace very differently. some places are using top containers
repositories sharing one large controlled vocabulary
container profiles, share all the same lists but use different ones at different repositories

Also include suggestion workshop/activity type things – include in submission form
how different people are using aspace? whether it's description or implementation, short lightning round
maybe during the discussion, there can be more technical aspect, and description, or access aspect to it? – several people that lead discussions?
check out users listserv – identify potential discussion leaders
check out users listserv – identify invited speakers as well

send out before
send out everytime we figure something out
after program activity – may ask opinions of friends for ideas
somewhere closeby will be ideal
not a ton right by tufts, but cambridge or somerville
tufts / christine – get ideas from them, bring them back to joe/danielle
if we come up with something good, we'll just say this is what we're doing
people will have stronger opinions on program rather than after activity since they're local
