[Yale ArchivesSpace] ASpace Assessments module now available

[Clemens, Alison]

Dear Yale ArchivesSpace colleagues,

The Yale Archival Management Systems Committee (YAMS) has recently activated the Assessments module across all Yale repositories.

ArchivesSpace Assessment records are intended to contain information about the quantitative and qualitative condition of surveyed material, its readiness for reformatting, housing, physical arrangement, intellectual access, and research value.
More information about the Assessments module is available in the following resources:


  *   Our Yale Assessments Onboarding document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dx6CDhvoJ601rs9IOYhnrfDQdqCdePTjFqE4oSiHoDU/edit?usp=sharing>
  *   The Assessments section of the ArchivesSpace at Yale: User Manual<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DI_7YNZy-RcjQ9hpMMbxJEkHFpYndzmDoG3ylOc38BY/edit#heading=h.6d8seyz3yqhg>
  *   The attached Beinecke Assessments documentation (with thanks to Mike Rush and Rosemary K. J. Davis for sharing)
  *   Our walkthrough video, which is posted at the top of the videos section on the YAMS LibGuide<https://guides.library.yale.edu/archivesspace/trainingvideos>.

Please let me or YAMS (yulyams at mailman.yale.edu<mailto:yulyams at mailman.yale.edu>) know if you have questions, and we hope the new (to us) module is useful to you.

Best wishes,
Alison, for YAMS
