WEST Program Refresher – Slides and Demo Recording Now Available!

On February 7th WEST hosted an hour-long webinar that provided a refresher on the WEST program and an info session on WEST Archiving. 

The first half of the webinar covered the history of WEST as well as the vision, mission, and principles, key features of the program, an overview of WEST members and their roles, how WEST is governed, and WEST’s external collaborations with key partners that extend our work at a national scale. 

The second half of the webinar provided a brief overview of the collection analysis and archiving processes, a look into the different roles members play in WEST, information on the WEST collection, and information about WEST’s in-house analysis support and decision making tool AGUA. As part of the program refresher, WEST project staff also gave a demo of the On Demand Comparison Report Tool, using one member’s recent use case to illustrate how to filter and refine the Archived Comparison Report in order to get actionable insights.

The recording of the demo and presentation slide deck are now available in the Webinars section of the Documents & Presentations page of the WEST website: https://cdlib.org/west/about-west/documents-presentations/#webinars

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us!
