[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Authority/Subject Heading Workflow in ArchivesSpace

[Emily Pyers]

Hi Phil,

We’re Ex Libris users as well (Voyager, PRIMO, Digitool).  Historically we’ve been creating the Accession record in Archivist’s Toolkit, (extracting the records in Excel, then converting to MARC using MARCEdit delimited text transfer) then doing a bulk upload to Voyager to create a brief record which we then update to create the collection level record.  To date we’ve only selectively pulled the records that we want to create full descriptive lists for back in to Archivist’s Toolkit as Resource records,  but with the move to AS we’ll be looking at doing this work back into AS in bulk as well, and possibly automating the Accession record pull and conversion.  I’m curious therefore to know how far down this path you have gotten – are you currently doing the write-back from Voyager to AS work on a record by record basis?

Cheers,
Emily

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Authority/Subject Heading Workflow in ArchivesSpace

Greetings all,

             How is everyone handling the Authority Control/Subject Heading workflow in ArchivesSpace? Are Collection level (MARCXML) being created, with all authority work included, in the ILS and then ingested into ASpace? Or is Authority Control handled solely via ASpace Staff Interface subject heading management?


We are an Ex Libris (Voyager/Primo) institution and we are trying to improve efficiency and streamline workflows for the creation of Collection Level (MARC) and Full Finding Aid (EAD).

Thank you,

Phil
