The OLIVIA Working Group has scheduled 3 offerings of the OLIVIA staff
workshop series in 2008.
OLIVIA is a centrally-supported cataloging system for visual materials,
designed to supply data to the VIA
union catalog. Training classes are open to all in the Harvard
libraries, archives and museum communities. However, any Harvard
repository that wishes to begin contributing to OLIVIA/VIA should consult
the VIA
scope
description and contact the VIA Working Group about using the
system.
Workshops include:
OLIVIA workshop #1 (basic record creation; the OLIVIA/VIA
relationship)
OLIVIA workshop #2 (more record creation; sets; searching)
