Archives content management systems (CMS) provide integrated support for archival workflows, including arrangement and description, accessioning, access and managing records. But is a content management system right for your shop? Attendees will learn what questions to ask when evaluating current workflows to the functionality of a proposed system - all to analyze whether or not a content management system, including open-source, is right for their institution. Attendees will hear from an archives that used two open source content management systems since 2009 regarding the challenges and benefits. In addition, the session will discuss how successful – or not - a recent migration into Access to Memory (AtoM) was.
