Thanks for registering for the ArchivesSpace Online Forum. We’re delighted to have 500 people registered for the forum. This page includes some tips to make the event a good experience for you and others. 

Connection information for the forum will be sent to registrants on Friday, May 15, 2020 via Eventbrite email with the subject heading “Connection information for attendees of the ArchivesSpace Online Forum”. If you think you registered but don’t receive a message with the URLs for the event, please contact us at ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org. There may be a problem with the email address on your registration.

The Online Forum is a free event but we do have limitations on space and we are currently at capacity. Registrations are for a single user. If you have colleagues who would like to attend from their own computers, please encourage them to sign up for the waitlist. Please do not share your URLs with them. This is so we can ensure that everyone who signed up is able to get into the sessions.

The event page has links to session descriptions, speaker bios, and presentations (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/966688804 ). Recordings, when available, will be added after the event.

If you are new to Zoom, you may find this Zoom cheat sheet helpful. If you need assistance during the forum, email ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org.

You can leave and come back during the event as you wish. The connection URL will be the same.

Your microphone will be muted each time you enter. Please keep yourself muted except when you want to talk to the group.

You can phone in for the audio if you don’t have speakers on your computer or otherwise can’t use the computer audio. If you need to connect by phone, please find your local number at https://zoom.us/u/abY0PUiwRs. The meeting ID is provided in the email containing connection information.

Please be sure to mute yourself unless you intend to speak to the group.

Because of the size of the group, using the chat for questions will ensure a smoother audio experience for everyone in most cases. Except in sessions that are specifically intended to be discussions with audience participation, we encourage you to save questions until the end of each presentation or group of presentations.

This is a very large group - we will try to get to all questions and issues, but please be patient with us. We will follow up with you after the event if we were unable to get to your question
