We at Sacramento State (part of California State University system) are also interested in integration between ASpace and Alma/Primo.  Like Northwestern and others we are considering harvesting EADs directly to Primo, but would like to export collection-level records to Alma…

Adrien, Susan, Vernica, and all:

Add me to the interested list! 😊  We are not using Alma right now, but since we will eventually migrate from our current ILS to another one that has a robust API, I’d love to keep up with what other institutions are doing.

I’ll also say that my thoughts on the matter so far has been along the same lines of what Leilani and Benn mentioned – namely, bypassing the ILS, but we still need to get those records to WorldCat, etc.  That said, I’ve no clue yet whether we’ll be able to achieve that with our next ILS or not, or whether we’ll continue to try to keep records in synch between ArchivesSpace and an ILS.

Hello,

We, here at the Getty Research Institute are also interested in ArchivesSpace/Alma/Primo integration.  We have experimented a bit with the Denver plugin in our Sandbox environment.  Currently, we are indexing the full-text of our EADs in Primo.  We may also be interested in exploring the interplay between Alma bibliographic/holdings/items records and resource records/instances in ArchivesSpace.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi All,

At Houghton Library, part of the Harvard Library, we too are interested in ArchivesSpace/Alma integration.

In terms of functionality for resource description, we looked a bit at the Denver plug-in and like the type of data exchange it offers between the ArchivesSpace resource record and the Alma Bib and Holdings records using the MMS ID. We could also envision the exchange working the other way, starting from the Alma record and looking to ArchivesSpace for a resource record with that MMS ID (in a locally specified field), creating a resource if non-existent or updating if existent.

We would also like to think through subject and agent access points and keeping those up-to-date in both systems (using URIs), and optimally, up-to-date with the authority file (functionality that Alma currently offers).

Lastly, exchanging and maintaining container inventories and barcodes (instances in ArchivesSpace and item records in Alma) across the systems is another area of functionality we’d like to explore.

We’d like to host a conference call for interested parties. Can folks respond if they are interested in taking part? If there’s enough momentum, I’ll send around a Doodle poll with some available times.

Best wishes,
Adrien, Susan, and Vernica
Houghton Library

Hi all,

Attached is the reference architecture and test/sample implementation architecture we developed at Rutgers.  We have not implemented this yet.

Best,
Chad

Hi,

We are interested!  At Rutgers earlier this year we developed a reference architecture for our Special Collections.  We tested the reference architecture by creating an implementation architecture using Alma, Primo, ArchiveSpace and a generic repository framework.  In June we migrated to Alma so we will be looking to integrate ArchiveSpace with Alma in the near future using our the reference architecture as a blue print.  I’ll see if I can share that reference architecture with the group.

Best,
Chad

Hi,

We us Alma as our library ILS here, so we have been looking at the possibility of integrating Alma and ArchivesSpace.  I was curious if anyone else is interested in this type of integration and if there is any work being done?

Thanks!
Megan
