Webinar description:
The new ArchivesSpace Assessments Module made a quiet debut in October 2017 
with the v2.2.0 release. The assessments module was made possible by many 
individuals: Tufts University subsidized this project, and the development was 
done by Hudson Molonglo. Dan Santamaria and Adrienne Pruitt took the lead on 
the Tufts side in working closely with HM developers, and also coordinated 
putting the module out for wider testing, in which people at institutions 
including the Smithsonian, Smith College, University of Michigan Special 
Collections, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania participated.

With the assessments tool now available in ArchivesSpace, many are wondering 
how it might be incorporated into their collection management workflows. In 
this webinar, Dan Santamaria will provide insight into the role assessment 
plays within the wider picture of collection management, and why the 
institution was compelled to fund its development. Adrienne Pruitt will discuss 
the development process, run through a demo of the module, and talk about how 
it's helping with a collection-wide survey at Tufts. Christie Peterson will 
share how Smith College will use the assessments module in the coming year, and 
her experience with various manifestations of managing assessments.

Please feel free to bring any questions you have.
