<p>Hi Christie-</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This plugin developed by HM for Yale: <a href="https://github.com/hudmol/payments_module" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk412442" previewremoved="true">
https://github.com/hudmol/payments_module</a> seems like it might do a bunch of what your looking for as far as the funds tracking goes. We use it at Dartmouth to track manuscript purchases, but I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to use it for books
or other purchases.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello ASpace Users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you using ASpace to track accessions of rare books, both purchased and gifts?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We're in a moment of rethinking our workflows and tools for our rare book acquisitions, and considering replacing the paper accessions log with ASpace.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since this is bibliographic material and ASpace is designed primarily for archival/manuscript collections it's a bit of a shoehorn, but not, I think, a ridiculous one. We would probably need some user-defined fields for acquisition fund, for example, and
we wouldn't require lots of the fields we do require for accessions of archival materials.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, if you are using ASpace this way, what has your experience been? How did you need to modify it in order to bend it to this purpose?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
