<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We are just starting to use the LCNAF plugin at Northwestern University. I can send you some of our documentation off list. We’ve described our best practices and
the operations of the plugin in a bit more detail. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">One thing I can say without including a lot of documentation is that we will not be using the plugin to import Subject records, only Agents. That’s because when
a Subject is imported using this plugin, individual Subject records are created for the preferred term (the MARC 150 field in the authority record) as well as for each of the non-preferred terms (the MARC 450 fields in the authority record). For example, an
LSCH record with 4 non-preferred terms will be imported as 5 Subject records, one for the preferred term and one for each of the non-preferred terms, with no indication in the records for the non-preferred terms that they are references and should not be assigned,
as well as no indication of the preferred term with which they are associated. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This is a plugin but comes with a standard ArchivesSpace installation and is described in the user manual at
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.archivesspace.org_Default.htm-23AgentsImportLCNAF.htm&d=CwMFAg&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=P54V6LrXJP5Ddzc8ZItBdqB1Kr3elvFIQ04P7n0UCbQ&m=NxowvYcR6MzGrS-X6DhbOLz5AcaT0wcYtLjA7pgcTRw&s=Yi5wychsv7BovafcVe0ZsPCCX7LIA2NYdPNTAH1Z_1U&e=">
https://docs.archivesspace.org/Default.htm#AgentsImportLCNAF.htm</a>. It is also described and demonstrated in the Authorities overview video at
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__docs.archivesspace.org_screencasts_KLNwebinars_17-2DAuthoritiesOverview.mp4&d=CwMFAg&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=P54V6LrXJP5Ddzc8ZItBdqB1Kr3elvFIQ04P7n0UCbQ&m=NxowvYcR6MzGrS-X6DhbOLz5AcaT0wcYtLjA7pgcTRw&s=OnpUy2MCPR_Jt1SuXcSX0pUivoWoUZRCFCVBuuxPkfo&e=">
http://docs.archivesspace.org/screencasts/KLNwebinars/17-AuthoritiesOverview.mp4</a> (it’s discussed at about the 10:45 mark in the video). The ability to import subject headings from LCSH has been added since the instructions were last revised.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">A few caveats: even though it’s distributed with a standard ArchivesSpace, your system administrator has to have enabled use of this plugin for it to be available
to you. Also, you have to have advanced data entry privileges or above to access it from the gear menu. You can try it out in the sandbox (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__sandbox.archivesspace.org&d=CwMFAg&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=P54V6LrXJP5Ddzc8ZItBdqB1Kr3elvFIQ04P7n0UCbQ&m=NxowvYcR6MzGrS-X6DhbOLz5AcaT0wcYtLjA7pgcTRw&s=9PvY2vEX-w0zEuVWvw3gSyXPHeSYViscrJrHrnEGLAU&e=">http://sandbox.archivesspace.org</a>
– use the username admin and the password admin) if you don’t have access locally and want to try it out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This plugin is partially proof of concept – a demonstration of what could be done rather than a fully realized mechanism for importing all kinds of authorities.
There are many other external databases that could interact with ArchivesSpace this way, and many ways this plugin itself could be improved, and I’d be very interested to hear if others have expanded on this plugin in their local installations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
