University of Ontario Institute of Technology and Durham College Implement Cuadra STAR/Archives Software to Manage Multiple Collections
LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)--
The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and Durham
College have implemented STAR (News - Alert)/Archives to manage its collections, as
well as the collections of The Canadian Society for Mechanical
Engineering and several other technical societies. STAR/Archives, a
product of Cuadra Associates, Inc., supports the management of archival
collections of all types. It works with Cuadra's acclaimed STAR
knowledge management software and follows the international standards
for archival description--ISAD (g), DACS, Dublin Core, EAD, and MARC.
As Ontario's first laptop-based university, UOIT offers undergraduate
and graduate degree programs through its faculties of Business and
Information Technology; Social Science and Humanities; Education; Energy
Systems and Nuclear Science; Engineering and Applied Science; Health
Sciences; and Science. In 2003, UOIT beganaccepting students at the
north Oshawa campus and now has a full-time enrollment of more than
6,500 undergraduate and graduate students. The archival collections will
eventually include a comprehensive history of both institutions,
including the papers of the founders and presidents, boards of
governors, chancellors, schools and faculties, and graduate theses.
According to Pamela Drayson, Director of the UOIT Library and Archives,
the archives staff has been using STAR/Archives on Cuadra's Hosted
Service and making excellent progress in cataloging the collections,
with the goal of making them publicly accessible through the
application's built-in web search interface. "We have been especially
pleased with the support we have received from Cuadra's Help Desk," she
said.
