OLIVIA staff workshops for the 2009-10 academic year

The OLIVIA Working Group has scheduled several staff workshops for the 2009-10 academic year.

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:

1. OLIVIA workshop #1 (basic record creation; the OLIVIA/VIA relationship)
2. OLIVIA workshop #2 (more record creation; sets; searching)
