[Archivesspace_Users_Group] updated and simplified ArchivesSpace roadmap

[Christine Di Bella]

Hello ArchivesSpace members,

We have published a new, simplified roadmap related to development for the 
ArchivesSpace application at 
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/2634973195/Roadmap. 
This new version highlights work currently scheduled for the next 12 months. It 
also mentions priorities that are not currently scheduled for the time period 
but that could shift if additional resources or community partners are 
identified.

In general, the roadmap indicates large areas of development focus, while 
JIRA provides details on individual bug 
fixes and features requested by the community. 
GitHub contains details on the 
actual code used to implement these and to maintain the application overall.

We are aiming to put releases out three times a year, though we may have 
occasional additional releases in between larger ones to address specific 
issues (for example, to address the agent contact note migration issue in 3.0.0 
identified earlier this week). As a release approaches we will provide more 
specific details about the work it will contain. The roadmap will be updated as 
releases come out or significant changes take place.

If the last year and a half have shown us anything (if for some reason we 
didn't know this already), it's that it's very hard to predict what will 
happen, despite best laid plans. This roadmap is our best estimation based on 
what we know now, and we hope it will be helpful for community members as you 
also make plans. Please get in touch if you have questions or suggestions and 
thank you for your ongoing support and participation.

Christine

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Publishing, Suppressing, or Unpublishing?

[Dyson-Smith, Bridger]

Hi all - 

I have a set of resources that need to be removed from the PUI - they
were published in error. Initially I had thought that setting their
`published` status in the database from `1` to `0` (and updating the
`system_mtime` would be sufficient for a reindex (where these resources
would be removed from Solr and not reindexed).

Is there a programmatic way to handle this, or something through the
API? I have an idea, but it feels hacky and wrong, and the alternative
seems to be something along the lines of:
1. visit each resource in the staff UI
2. select 'Publish?' at the Basic Information level
3. save
4. deselect 'Publish?'
5. save

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Best,
Bridger

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Webinar Announcement: Making the most of the ArchivesSpace Classifications Module and Library of Congress Subject Headings at the University of Oregon

[Jessica Crouch]

Dear ArchivesSpace users,

ArchivesSpace will be offering a webinar on making the most of the 
ArchivesSpace classifications module and Library of Congress Subject Headings 
at the University of Oregon. In this webinar, Liliya Benz and Alex Bisio of 
University of Oregon will discuss their initiative to create interactive, 
browsable subject guides for new reference staff and patrons by making use of 
the classifications module in ArchivesSpace.



When: June 30, 2021

Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PT)

Where: Zoom
Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9vyoqxiySM-UnKuHCnfexA



This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube 
channel.



Webinar description:



In March 2020, processing archivists in Special Collections and University 
Archives (SCUA) at the University of Oregon Libraries began experimenting with 
the Classifications module in ArchivesSpace, seeking a way to create 
interactive, browsable subject guides for new reference staff and patrons. 
Using existing controlled vocabulary in SCUA’s MARC records, processing 
archivists employed data exploration tools in OpenRefine (formerly 
GoogleRefine) to collate collections into subject areas based on Library of 
Congress Classifications. Using OpenRefine and additional subject analysis of 
the collections, processing archivists were able to create comprehensive lists 
of SCUA’s collections by subjects represented. These lists could then be 
uploaded into ArchivesSpace Classifications, giving staff and patrons a tool to 
browse archival collections as they would books on a shelf in the general 
stacks of the university library.



This webinar will explore the MARC-to-Classifications workflow in OpenRefine, 
as well as subject analysis methods used to assign both classifications and 
subclassifications based on numerical collection data. Classification Web, the 
primary tool used for subject analysis and classification, will be juxtaposed 
with other open-access tools in the hope that institutions may replicate 
aspects of the project regardless of subscription-based resources. Highlighted 
resources used for subject analysis will include Library of Congress 
Classification Web (subscription-based), Library of Congress Authorities (open 
access), and the Library of Congress Classification Outline (open access).


A Q will follow.


Presenter Information:


Liliya Benz is the Special Projects Processing Archivist for Special 
Collections and University Archives at the University of Oregon. She received 
her Bachelor of Arts in applied mathematics from the University of Oregon and 
her Master of Library Science with a concentration in archives studies from 
Emporia State University.


Alex Bisio (she/her/hers) is the Lead Processing Archivist in Special 
Collections and University Archives at the University of Oregon Libraries. She 
earned her MSLIS in Archives Management and MA in American History from Simmons 
College, and her BA in American History from Santa Clara University. Before 
joining SCUA at the University of Oregon, she served as the Associate Archivist 
of the Jesuit Archives: Central United States in Saint Louis, Missouri, and the 
Archivist for the Critical Theory Archive at the University of California, 
Irvine.
