ArchivesSpace and Airtable for Improved Workflow Management
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time)
Webinar description:
The Archival Collections Management department at New York University Libraries recently implemented the cloud software Airtable for holistic workflow management to complement its use of ArchivesSpace as its system of record for archival holdings. This webinar, presented by Weatherly Stephan (Head of Archival Collections Management, NYU Libraries) and Rachel Searcy (Accessioning Archivist, NYU Libraries), will focus on the ways in which they use Airtable in conjunction with other systems to monitor backlogs, prioritize upcoming work, communicate the status of current projects to a broad group of stakeholders, and report statistics on their accessioning, arrangement and description, and other collections management activities.
Please join us as Weatherly and Rachel share how they have connected technological solutions to workflows in order to promote efficient collection management strategies.
The cost is $10 for SCA members; $5 for student members; and $20 for non-members. All registrants will receive a link to the webinar recording after the webinar is completed.
