<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Olivia,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hear, hear!!! <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
😊</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a quick note to say that this is something that we’ve discussed at Yale, as well, and I think that we might start to address it via a plugin at some point (it would be a nice feature to go directly into the core code, but in order
for that to happen, I’d think that the Location module would need to be updated so that staff could indicate which locations were the offsite ones without having to add that data to a config file). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I believe that the location information is already in the PUI index, so it would just be a matter of choosing when/where to display that data. I don’t think that there’s a good EAD solution, unless you implement a specific way to
use the physloc note, as you mentioned, but even then you’ve got to do some grouping since those boxes are often repeated in a finding aid, and any top-level, auto-generated note should be easy to read.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s what I’d like our ASpace PUI site to have (eventually):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">We could configure which locations are offsite (for us, we’d just need to add 3 location IDs to an array of offsite locations). In the future, though, it would be nice if you could
use the Location module in ASpace to designate this rather than doing it in a configuration file; and anything that’s not tagged as being offsite would then be inferred to be on site.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Each top-container landing page would have an automatically generated note indicating that the materials were stored offsite and requires X amount of time to retrieve (and, of course,
the part about how long it would take would need to be configurable, as well)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Each archival object, accession, and resource associated via an instance with one of those top containers would have the same message.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">We’d also have 2 facets to indicate onsite vs. offsite (or, available today vs. needs X amount of lead time, whatever would make the most sense). How handy would that be to exclude
“offsite” archival components if you’re only going to be in town for a day or two?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">If a resource or accession had any offsite material attached to it, then an auto-generated note would display at the top level description, indicating as much (e.g. Boxes 1-3 and 5
in this collection require five business days to retrieve, upon receipt of request)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All that said, it would be great to have the same info available in the staff interface, too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have any other institutions tackled this problem already? For now, we really only indicate this by manually adding notes to our MARC Holdings records, and I’d love not to repeat that practice in our finding aids for the reasons you mentioned,
Olivia.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We're trying to figure out a situation that can't be uncommon. We've got a lot of onsite boxes. We've got a lot of offsite boxes. Researchers need to request offsite boxes a week in advance. Many of our collections have nebulous access
restrictions like, "Portions of this collection are stored offsite". I want clarity for our researchers.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We're slowly carrying out a shelf read project and soon will know exactly where every box is. How have some of you all who have all of your containers anchored to locations communicated that something is offsite to researchers?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We publish EAD records to a regional consortium and are working on setting up Aeon to integrate with it and, eventually, the ASpace public interface.<br clear="all">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have thought about adding a physical location tag for all archival objects that have associated offsite boxes stating such, but I don't like this for a couple of reasons:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
It will look horrible. Whole series and collections that are stored offsite will have this repetitive information in archival object after archival object.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
It will not automatically update when the box moves. For various logistical reasons, many of our boxes move around a lot or are slated to move to new locations. The whole point of having box location information in a database is that we only will have to change
the information in one place.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even if there's not a good EAD solution, we can point researchers to the public interface. I've not much experience with the public interface, but should it be difficult to customize the box display so that you can see building information
associated with a box?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm just curious how other institutions have tackled this problem. I'd like it to be readily apparent to researchers when they need a week to access a box.<o:p></o:p></p>
