OASIS III: Sixth Monitoring Report January 2006

Training update

Tees Archaeology and Cheshire HER have been trained since the last report, and Black Country HER will be shortly. Requests have been received from Bedfordshire, Surrey, Humber and Sandwell.

OASIS User Forum

It is hoped to launch the OASIS User Forum on Jiscmail in the very near future, and it is hoped that this can help spread the word on consistent points of form completion (notably the upload or not of fieldwork reports).

HBSMR Import Scripts

The OASIS Progress spreadsheet has been updated with those HERs using HBSMR in order to highlight where concerns of time may shortly be addressed.
