[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Google Hangout about ArchivesSpace container management plug-in TOMORROW

[Kara Hart]

Hi Maureen,
I saw your invite on the listserv and I tried to join your Google Hangout,
but it says the "Video call is full".

Thanks,
Kara

>
>    - New and improved approach to the way ArchivesSpace treats
>    containers. Containers in ArchivesSpace can now be defined once and linked
>    many times to various archival objects, resources, and accessions. This
>    means that the database knows, in a meaningful way, which container
>    materials are housed in.
>    - Ability to know more about the actual container itself. Is this a
>    Paige box? A Hollinger half-manuscript legal? The new "container profile"
>    record type lets you know exactly which box type is on the shelves and what
>    its dimensions are. This will make measuring space much easier, from
>    extent statements to shelf space to really understanding how many moving
>    vans you need for that big renovation!
>    - Be able to select and act on containers. Perhaps you want to see
>    which boxes are in a collection, a series, a location, or have a particular
>    barcode -- ArchivesSpace will let you do it!
>    - The ability to "share" boxes across entire collections in a
>    meaningful way. Let's say that you want to put all of the panoramaic photos
>    in your repository into the same container. With this new data model,
>    you'll be able to keep much better control over that container.
>    - The ability to configure how many digits barcodes in your repository
>    should be. This will help cut down on bad barcode information in
>    the database.
>    - The ability to add/update "container profiles" in bulk. Choose a
>    list of containers. Select Bulk Operations > Update Container Profiles. It
>    is that easy.
>    - Rapid barcode entry. Choose a list of containers, wand through their
>    barcodes. Boom, done.
>    - An error will occur if you try to assign the same barcode to two
>    different containers. No more paging nightmares.
>    - The ability to store data that will help you synchronize between
>    ArchivesSpace and item records in your ILS. It's common for archives
>    to create item records in their ILS for containers in collections. This
>    will give you a place to store the ILS's holdings record Identifier and the
>    item record identifier.
>    - The ability to store data about the restriction status of material
>    associated with a container.See below for more about
>    machine-actionable restrictions. This helps serialize information to ILS
>    item records, and creates an opportunity for archival circulation systems
>    to manage containers with restricted materials properly.
>
> *Locations*
>
>    - Improved location view. Now, when you look up a location in
>    ArchivesSpace, you'll see all of the containers that are in that location!
>    - Ability to assign locations in bulk. How did we ever get along
>    without this before? This will be a huge help for shelf-reads, moves, and
>    assigning locations to new containers.
>
> *Restrictions*
>
>    - Machine-actionable restrictions. You will now have the ability to
>    associate begin and end dates with "conditions governing access" and
>    "conditions governing use." You'll also be able to associate a local
>    restriction type for non-time-bound restrictions. This gives the ability to
>    better manage and re-describe expiring restrictions.
>
> *Extents*
>
>    - Extent calculator. Now that you know the dimensions of your
>    containers, you'll be able to automatically calculate linear footage at any
>    level of description.
