Program structure

Kansas City Regional Forum - November 2018 – this is just a starting page. We can restructure as needed.

  • workshop 
  • 2 workshops. one more development focused, one more working in the user interface
    • concurrent. api  /  basics – half day workshops
    • morning workshop idea
    • intro to aspace – we should say this is specific to resources or accessioning, or RDE, or data-cleanup can be a side thing
15 minProgram content brainstorming (presentations, workshop, etc.)
  • basic understanding of github – necessary to do any development. basic overview.
  • what institutions are doing with the PUI. especially institutions that are not harvard/yale.
    • no regional aggregator
    • KCAA is more of a networking and development organization
    • outside of kansas city. in arkansas, regional archivists form 7 institutions using ASpace.
    • each institution is using their own pui.
    • arkansas export data into local consortium.
  • some KC institutions are members of aspace or getting started – introductory starting path would be a draw
  • implementation buddies – some engagement with that at the forum would be good
  • NOTE: Kim will put together a submission form and send out draft to all
