Last June 26th, our colleagues from the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, in Paris, conducted an interactive online workshop on one of the flagship services of DiSSCo, the European Loans and Visits System, ELViS. The recording of the workshop is now available.
ELViS is a one-stop shop for access to the collections in Europe. It provides a unified way to request visits, loans and virtual access (VA). Virtual access requests through ELViS provide digitisation on demand as a new type of access, including support for collaborating on VA ideas and proposal submission.
The workshop, led by our colleague Maxime Grivau, software developer for DiSSCo, was an opportunity to present the progress of the MNHN on the tool. It consisted of three sections:
1. General presentation of ELViS, its objectives, and a progress update on the product;
2. Presentation of the request process followed by an interactive Q&A session;
3. Presentation of the request processing circuit (for collection managers) followed by an interactive Q&A session.
