Pre-Conference Workshop: Hands-on EAD: Using the New OhioLINK EAD
Finding Aid Creation Tool to Encode Finding Aids

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.  (Limited to 15 participants)

Registration Fee:  $20.00

This all-day workshop will familiarize participants with the new
Web-based EAD creation tool that has been created by OhioLINK's EAD Task
Force. Workshop attendees will get hands-on experience in using the
Web-based application as Task Force members lead them through the
creation of a basic finding aid. Participants will also discover how the
EAD application and Finding Aid Repository will work together to create
a searchable collection of archival finding aids from institutions all
across Ohio. They will have an opportunity to explore the Repository
search engine and to browse some finding aids that have been created
during the testing phase of the project. Participants do not need to
bring collection information with them. Participants will work with a
sample finding aid provided by the presenters. Basic familiarity with
EAD is helpful but not required. The Task Force will provide some
information to participants prior to the workshop in order to facilitate
learning for those who are new to Encoded Archival Description.

 

Workshop Leaders: Cara Gilgenbach - Kent State University; Rhonda
Rinehart - University of Akron

Workshop Facilitators: Janet Carleton - Ohio University; Beth Kattelman
- The Ohio State University; Amy McCrory -- The Ohio State University

 

Program Information

Join us for an opening session on strategic planning and help SOA to
create a strategic plan. Facilitator J.D. Britton of the Ohio Historical
Society will lead SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats) analyses for both SOA and for the field of archives as a whole.
SOA invites members and non-members alike to participate. The SWOT
exercise is also great experience for beginning strategic planning at
