CARBICA Tutorial

In August 2011 a two-day training workshop on ICA-AtoM 1.1 was presented in Curaçao and attended by members of the ICA's Caribbean section (CARBICA). In preparation for the workshop a demo version of ICA-AtoM was created using copies of archival records held by the Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) at the University of British Columbia Library. To encourage learning and support new users in their discovery of ICA-AtoM open-source software for archival description, a CARBICA training manual with 10 tutorials was created. The tutorials in the booklet allow users to interact with the data in the CARBICA demo version of ICA-AtoM.

Anyone is free to download the workshop materials and complete the tutorial on their own or adapt it for use in other projects.

CARBICA LiveDVD Demo Troubleshooting

During data entry into ICA-AtoM, if you encounter a white screen after clicking the EDIT button:

  • Change section of URL from "index.php" to "qubit_dev.php" and hit return. This should fix the white screen and allow you to continue data entry
  • It may be necessary to make this switch from time to time
  • This is most likely due to a segmentation fault caused by issue 1995 which does not affect all users
