| | Carla | - They are currently using AAT, they are currently deciding to adopt something else.
- They decided to go with ArchivesSpace because members of the Orbis Cascade Alliance are using AS.
- They are engaging in a pilot this year - 4 to 6 members are going to start using AS without any training.
- The pilot members will start using AS and along the way they will create documentation for later adoption by all members of the allliance
- The training modules will be based on this one-year pilot - 4 Orbis members are volunteering to participate in the pilot.
- They are not going to be official members, though, which means that they won't be receiving the documentation from AS
- Esther: Did they talk about the migration process?
- Well because they were using AT, it was another reason to go with AS
- Orbis Cascade members pay a fee for Orbis to host multiple instances of AS
- Carla added to the Resources section of the wiki, NWDA draft of the cost of receiving the AS service (software and training through Orbis Cascade)
|
| | | Jessi | - She did a search for institutions associated with AT and AtoM.
- 2 out of 3 responses had been on the Archivematica train
- 1 had used AT so AS was the natural step forward
- The other 2 respondents used Artefactual products briefly and then moved to AS
- Jessi listed quotes from respondents are in the Resources section of the wiki (Rockefeller Center, Yale)
- No responses from folks that are using it without being a member - but member impression is that they would be good with non-members
- Jessi thinks that ArchivesSpace will be an easier sell as far as ADMS because it seems to have a much wider adoption
- Esther: What about migration issues?
- Well, for all the folks who used AT
|

| | | Ece | - Trying to get faculty to come to the realization that they can't just dump a project on the technical staff - they have to take ownership of that project/translations between technical and subject specialist
- Her role is to facilitate relationships between faculty and the libraries to see each other's perspectives in order to build sustainable projects
- Primary resources haven't been part of this discussion but controlled vocabularies and metadata have
