OLIVIA Staff Training

OLIVIA classes are open to all full and part time staff in Harvard repositories (libraries, archives, museums), although preference will be given to staff using OLIVIA now or planning to use it in the near future. Classes are free but pre-registration is required.

Note about OLIVIA eligibility: any Harvard repository that wishes to begin contributing to OLIVIA/VIA should consult the VIA database scope description and must have the consent of the VIA Working Group before using the system.

If you have questions about registration for these classes, please contact the OIS Training Registrar.
