<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Since these two problems potentially affect all implementations of ArchivesSpace, the ArchivesSpace development team has been addressing them outside of the prioritization process the ArchivesSpace community implemented last spring. The results of their efforts are present in a new version of the ArchivesSpace application that can be downloaded from <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases</a> (select the zip file for the release labeled “ui-changes-0.0.1”). Also, a screencast illustrating the solutions to these two problems is available at <span style="color:black"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRF7huQ7tqKaEQ3VTBmYnJIU28/view?usp=sharing" title="Cmd+Click or tap to follow the link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRF7huQ7tqKaEQ3VTBmYnJIU28/view?usp=sharing</a>.

These inadequacies are being addressed by a team established this past spring and led by LYRASIS’s Angela <span style="color:#333333;background:white">Spinazzè and Yale University’s Mark Custer. Progress reports on that work are available on the ArchivesSpace wiki at <a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ADC/Public+Interface+Enhancement+Project">https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ADC/Public+Interface+Enhancement+Project</a>. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";background:white">Collectively, the surfacing of these problems, and their eventual resolution, represents a new stage in the ongoing maturation and refinement of the ArchivesSpace application. Our overall goal remains to provide an archives information management application that accelerates processing of archival materials, supports effective collection management, and can be used to support discovery and access among the research community. </span></p>
