Workshop -- Implementing DACS, using the Archivists' Toolkit The Society of California Archivists is co-sponsoring a workshop on implementing DACS, using the open-source application the Archivists' Toolkit (AT). Besides DACS, participants will also learn to use the AT for such tasks as producing description output files in standardized data structures such as EAD and MARCXML. Participants will also learn to set up AT implementation in their repository. The workshop will take place on October 22-23, 2008, at Chapman University, Orange, California.
There is a discount of $15 to SCA members who are not SAA members. SCA members should enter "SCADCAT08" into the promotional code space of the online registration form. SAA Staff will process the discounts manually and the correct amount will be reflected on the confirmation receipt.
For registration information, go to the Society of California Archivists Conference/Workshop Calendar, #0932.
Call for SCA AGM program proposals The AGM is your meeting--help shape the program. What areas do you wish to explore? What issues have you been grappling with? Have you found an exciting approach you wish to evangelize? Have you heard a topic or speaker at another meeting that you thought would be a good cross-pollinator with the archives world? We are particularly interested in sessions that explore the theme of collaboration, however, we welcome any and all ideas! The Program Committee appreciates complete proposals, but even if you can suggest only one speaker (including yourself), we want to hear from you. Please use the online proposal form to submit ideas for sessions and workshops or contact program chair Laura O'Hara at lohara@stanford.edu
The 2009 AGM will be held May 7-9 at the Marriott in Riverside http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ralmc-riverside-marriott/. See the hotel fact sheet and check back later in the year for more information on the AGM web page.
All 2008 AGM speakers and panel members: Please send electronic files of your presentations and handouts to the Web Committee so they can be posted on the 2008 AGM presentations web page.
