SAA workshop, March 27-28

SAA's professional education workshop Implementing DACS in Integrated Content Management Systems: Using the Archivists' Toolkit will be held March 27-28, 2008 at the Elmer L. Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota.

If you've taken the introductory Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) workshop or are familiar with this national content standard, you’re ready for this intensive 2-day hands-on workshop! Learn to implement the national content standard using the Archivists' Toolkit (AT),* one open-source application available for managing information about your repository’s collections and for producing standard descriptive products. The AT supports integrated modules for accessioning, description, name and subject authority control, and location management, and also provides customizable reports and standardized description exports such as EAD, MARCXML, and METS.
