Webinar description: Mark Custer and Susan Pyzynski were deeply entrenched in the public interface as they led the community effort of the Public User Interface Enhancement Working Group to shape this essential access point for archival collections. Now they have moved onto their next great challenge - implementing the PUI at their own institutions. Mark and Susan will each share the strategies they have created to roll out the new PUI. Both institutions aim to be using the new PUI by early next year. Grand Valley State University has been using the ArchivesSpace PUI since 2014 and have already rolled out the new public interface. Annie Benefiel and Leigh Rupinski will share valuable insight on how the PUI has affected their day-to-day responsibilities of providing access to finding aids, as well as public reception and adapting their instruction for students and researchers. Please join us on October 26 at 1-2:30 EST as Mark, Susan, Annie, and Leigh as they share their experiences. Please feel free to bring any questions you have on the new public interface!
