[Archivesspace_Users_Group] release candidate available - ArchivesSpace v2.8.0-rc1

[Christine Di Bella]

Hello ArchivesSpace members,

The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to announce a release candidate, v2.8.0-rc1. 
You can download it at 
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.8.0-rc1 or test 
it out without downloading at http://test.archivesspace.org/staff  (username 
admin /password admin). We encourage you to download and try it out with your 
own local setup and/or data for the most accurate results.

This release candidate contains program-led and community pull requests that 
provide feature enhancements, bug fixes, infrastructure improvements, and 
documentation updates. Some items of note include the ability to merge top 
containers, new browse, search, and sort preferences in the staff interface, 
some improvements to search and display in the public interface, and additional 
display and faceting options in the background jobs area, as well as bug fixes 
and accessibility improvements. Fans of the popular Harvard import plugin will 
be pleased to see that incorporating its functionality into out-of-the-box 
ArchivesSpace is also part of this release, courtesy of our work with the 
plugin's original developer, Bobbi Fox.

Thanks to the many community members who made contributions to this release, 
including both individual archives staff and developers, as well as our 
Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, and Core Committers 
Group.

Please try this release candidate out over the next few days and let us know at 
archivesspaceh...@lyrasis.org by July 8 
if you notice any problems with the specific areas addressed in this release, 
or if anything that was working before no longer is. The results of testing 
will determine the specific timeframe for the release itself.

Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks as always for your 
feedback and support.

Christine

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Reorder Mode

[Anna Lancaster]

I'm having trouble with reordering. It seems to get hung up and eventually I 
have to close the record.  Has anyone had a solution for this?

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Webinar Announcement: Integrating ArchivesSpace with Drupal and Islandora at University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries

[Jessica Crouch]

Dear ArchivesSpace Users,
The next webinar in the Integrations with ArchivesSpace series will be 
Wednesday, July 15, at 2pm ET.  Each webinar in this series highlights an 
integration with another application used in archives that ArchivesSpace 
members have worked on or requested.
Our ninth webinar in this series will discuss integration with Drupal 8 and 
Islandora at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
When: July 15, 2020
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. – noon PT)
Where: Zoom
Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9yfEhfHqR5exk5YUazX1hA
In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in 
our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars.  Our 
webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in 
ArchivesSpace.
Webinar description:
This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube 
channel.

Seth Shaw will present an ArchivesSpace integration with Drupal 8. Drupal is a 
popular Content Management System widely used for building websites and is the 
foundational component of the popular Islandora 8 repository software. The 
ArchivesSpace Drupal module (https://www.drupal.org/project/archivesspace) 
allows Drupal and Islandora-based websites to present archival descriptions 
harvested from the ArchivesSpace API. This integration allows special 
collections and archives to build a single integrated interface combining both 
archival description from ArchivesSpace and digital objects in an Islandora 8 
repository. This webinar will demonstrate how the integration works and how it 
can be used with Islandora 8. It will also demonstrate how it is being used at 
the UNLV Special Collections and Archives in their forthcoming repository site.
Webinar Presenter:
Seth Shaw is an Application Developer for UNLV Libraries dedicated to Special 
Collections and Archives. Previously, he was the Electronic Records Archivist 
for Duke University and an Assistant Professor of Archival Studies at Clayton 
State University. He has been developing IT solutions for special collections 
and archives, off and on, since his days as an undergraduate student.
Who should attend:

Anyone interested in learning more about using ArchivesSpace with both Drupal 
and Islandora, integrating Drupal and ArchivesSpace or who has already 
developed an integration for working with Islandora and ArchivesSpace.
