Accessions vs. Resources Accession: http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/a/accession Resource: http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/r/resource http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/o/object We’ll create a new set of resources by importing a finding aid Finding aid: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18331583/ferris.xml https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18331583/ferris.xml
9
Your first accession Create a new accession, using DACS to format the entries. You can do anything – for ideas, look at https://pacer.ischool.utexas.edu/community-list https://pacer.ischool.utexas.edu/community-list Note: try for smaller communities (10 or fewer items) All identifiers will use the organization code TxU-LS (MARC Organization for UT library school) Use the date of accession into Dspace, if known; otherwise, use today’s date Ignore Agents, Subjects, Classifications (for now)
10
Adding a resource Spawn a new resource from the accession Add a title for any finding aid to be created You will want to represent a hierarchy of objects Add at least one digital object Note technical metadata than can be included
11
Tutorial Assignment For any one accession, create a tutorial that shows how to complete a given step in ArchivesSpace. For example: Creating an accession (include AS required elements plus required elements from DACS v.2, updating tooltip references to DACS as needed) Creating a resource (either from an existing finding aid or from scratch) Add a digital object (include steps of creating checksum, extent information, etc.) Create an agent Create a location Using classification
12
Finding Aid Assignment Create an accession for a collection of digital objects Options: any one state in the IMLS Connecting to Collections repository at UIUC Connecting to Collections recordings (DVDs) Austin Fanzine Project (talk to Jennifer Hecker about options) Associate the accession with a resource (either by spawning or creating after the fact) Add digital objects for the various items – at least 5 Create any needed agents or other authority records (subjects, locations, etc.) When complete, export EAD
