The Collection Management & Description Sections will be hosting a webinar in April on the theme of "Getting Basic Descriptive Control over Collection Holdings" and we are actively seeking presenters!
Have you experienced a collection move and lived to tell the tale? Do you have helpful suggestions for people embarking on a backlog project or barcoding project? Are you a traditional archivist now responsible for getting basic descriptive control over “non-archival” materials, like books, periodicals, or museum-type artifacts? We welcome proposals around any of the following topics:
- Collection moves
- Barcoding projects
- Backlog projects
- Accessioning as processing
- Descriptive control over non-archival materials, like books or periodicals
We are looking for speakers to share their experience in a 10-15 minute virtual presentation planned tentatively for a Monday in April, date TBD based on presenters’ availability. We would love to have diverse presenters and institutions represented: speakers from small institutions, HBCUs, and community archives are encouraged.
If you’re interested in presenting, please send a brief proposal to Sarah Jones (sarah.jones1@unlv.edu) by January 31st. Please feel free to email with any questions!
