SOA 2020 Annual Meeting: Crash and Burn: Learning from Failure
Channel: The Society of Ohio Archivists
Date: 2020-06-19

Crash and Burn: Learning from Failure
Sarah Aisenbrey, Sisters of the Precious Blood; Collette McDonough, Kettering Foundation; Tina Ratcliff, Montgomery County Records Center & Archives; Amy Rohmiller, University of Dayton; Adam Wanter, MidPointe Library System.
Often conference sessions only talk about successful projects--this is not that kind of session. In this session, we will embrace the idea that failure happens but that not learning from the experience is the real failure. Each speaker will talk for five to seven minutes about a failed project. Then there will be a good amount of time for sharing and questions. Topics covered by the speakers include blogs and outreach, mold, creating a digital archive, collection inventory, and time management. Come ready to share your own stories of when things did not go as planned.
