Archive-It Advanced Training Webinar Series
We are happy to introduce the Archive-It Advanced Training Webinar Series. This year-long slate of advanced training webinars will help you take your web archiving program to the next level.
These sessions will build on the existing Archive-It Application Training and new Video Curriculum in order to give you access to the additional strategies and tools that will help you meet your web archiving goals. The schedule includes a mix of new “Special Topics” trainings and a recurring “Advanced Scoping” training, for a total of 8 sessions per year.
Our first two special topics are Archiving Video Content and Access to Archive-It Collections. We'd love your input on the last two special topic slots. Some potential options include: QA workflows, Archive-It APIs, social media archiving, but don’t hesitate to suggest your own in the thread below.

- February 7: Archiving Video Content

Great question--yes, we do plan to record the webinars and make them available in the help center for those who cannot attend.

And we're off! :-) Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first "special topic" in this year's program of advanced training sessions. If you couldn't join us, or want to review, you can catch up with a recording of Archiving Video Content here.
We'll reconvene on March 14 for another live session on advanced crawl scoping tools and techniques (a repeat of the webinar that was held last fall) and again on May 2 to review the different strategies for enabling/boosting access to Archive-It collections that partners use. To sign up for either/both, use the registration form above and look forward to call-in details as the dates approach.
And as always let us know if there are other topics that you would like to get the advanced training treatment here! -
Thanks for the first session. Very helpful and interesting!
I'm a bit of a newbie with Archive-It, but would dearly love to learn more about almost anything related to QA. Workflows would great, but I'd especially appreciate any tricks for troubleshooting why files that appear to be in scope weren't archived in the initial crawl.

Hi, Renate! Yes, we're adding recordings of our webinars regularly to this Help Center page for live trainings, but for simplicity I will add the same links to the schedule at the top of this thread, too. The Access webinar recording us up and ready whenever you are :-)

How about something on metadata? I know OCLC is developing best practices, so it may be a bit premature, but it would be helpful to have a demonstration at least about the various levels at which you can supply metadata, how it displays to the public and how searching works, for example, so that as those best practices are released we have some ideas about navigating to implement them and how things behave.
