Hello,

When our collections have digital content associated with them, our practice is 
to add an "Existence and Location of Copies" note to the collection level 
indicating the presence of digital content like digitized copies of the 
originals. (We do other stuff at lower levels, too.) However, by default, this 
note only appears if you click the "Expand All" button. This means that users 
and staff often request boxes-especially small collections-without noticing 
that all or part of the collection is scanned.

We're considering changing the order of the notes so that this note features 
more prominently, above the "Expand All" fold. I have two questions.


1)      Is this something that is configurable in the standard staff-side 
interface of ASpace, or would the PUI plug-in need to be edited? (I think the 
answer is the latter, but just confirming I am not missing something.)

2)      Bumping the note above the "Expand All" fold is just the first idea 
that came to mind. Do you have other ways you signal to users on the 
collection-level page the presence of digital content? If so, I'm all ears.

Thank you in advance, and sorry if this has been discussed before!

Best,

Jordon
