Are you considering implementing an archival content management system (CMS) such as Archon or Archivists’ Toolkit™? Are you overwhelmed by the process of selecting the right tool for your institution? This web seminar, which is based on the recent report about archival management Software issued by the Council on Library and Information Resources, will take you through the process of evaluating and selecting a content management system.
The seminar will address:
- What is an archival CMS?
- What are the pros and cons of implementing a CMS?
- What is a sound process for selecting a CMS?
- What factors should I consider in selecting a CMS?
- Open source vs. commercial
- Support for description (EAD), collection management, and archival statistics
- Web publishing support
- Hosted or local?
- Cost
- Sustainability
- Customer support
- What are some alternatives to using a CMS?
This seminar will include concrete examples drawn from both open source and commercial systems.
Who should attend? Everyone who is involved in the decision on their institution’s archival content management system; and, anyone anticipating having to make this decision.
Invite your colleagues, staff, or students to join you in learning together over lunch or breakfast – in the convenience of your conference room, office, or classroom. Gather around a PC and a speaker phone, call in or email your questions, and get information and tools that will help you to participate and make decisions about Archival Content Management Systems. Remember, the registration fee enables you to copy handouts for the number of participants you choose to invite!
