[Callahan, Maureen]

This, of course, assumes that you’re publishing elsewhere as HTML and not using the public interface of ASpace…

Another way to go would be to just pick one, and have your XML -> HTML stylesheet take care of plurals. It would look for values greater than one and change it to “boxes”, for instance.

Hi, Jaime,

One thing I have done in the past is to use the “parenthetical plural,” for lack of a better phrase, i.e., “volume(s)”, “image(s), etc.  Thus, 1 volume(s) or 4 volume(s).  This does not work for foot/feet obviously.

That’s just one suggestion.

How are other people dealing with the singular/plural issues in Extent Type?

What I mean by this is we might have 1 volume or 2 volumes in a collection.  Do you have both "volume" and "volumes" in the Extent Type drop-down or do you force people to chose "volumes" even if they only have 1 item (and then manually fix the spawned finding aid/marc record)?

This may sound silly, but is actually an incredibly important question for my cleanup and clarification of procedures going forward.

Thanks!
Jaime
