> December 2001*
>
> This message is posted on behalf of the National Council on Archives
> (NCA). Please disseminate it to colleagues and archives users who would
> find it of interest.
>
> A2A, AIM25, the Archives Hub and SCAN, the four principal strands in the
> national archives network, are planning user evaluation sessions to be
> held next month.
>
> The network strands are working together as the National Archives Network
> User Research Group (NANURG) under the umbrella of the NCA. NANURG will
> hold a total of six evaluation sessions on three dates in December, at
> various venues in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. The users attending
> the sessions will include school pupils, postgraduate students, library
> users and members of the general public.
>
> At the evaluation sessions, users will be able to search and browse the
> four strand websites and provide feedback and comments on the information
> about archival resources in the UK provided by the national archives
> network. A consultant has been engaged to write a report based on this
> user input, which will be disseminated to network stakeholders and
> published online early in 2002. The report will provide pointers for the
> enhancement of the burgeoning UK archives network.
>
> Commenting on this initiative Nicholas Kingsley, Chairman of the NCA,
> said: "The feedback received from users of strand websites at the NANURG
> evaluation sessions will be invaluable for the further development of the
> UK's national archives network."
>
> The NANURG evaluation initiative has been made possible by a grant from
> Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries.
