NCSU

Trevor Thornton (trthron2@ncsu.edu)

A web-based system for managing requests for special collections materials developed by North Carolina State University. The application includes a JSON API, built in Ruby on Rails, and a default front end written in Angular.js (v. 1.6.x).

Circa provides close integration with ArchivesSpace, upon which the application depends for managing containers associated with specific collection components, as well as the location of those containers. It can also support requests for materials described in an ILS.

Circa allows users to import data from ArchivesSpace via the AS API. Currently this requires the user to copy/paste the AS record URI into Circa, which it then uses to make the API request.

Documentation in Git Repo.

Supports ArchivesSpace 2.5+, though not yet tested with v2.7.0+

Support through Github issues queue and user community

Active.

Planning changing method for selecting an AS record, using an integrated search/browse component that NCSU has recently developed as a Ruby gem. NCSU will also be updating the front end code to remove a dependency on an older javascript framework.

Based on the Resource record provided by a user, the integrations will perform the following API calls:

• Check for a BIB with the Resource's MMS ID
• Check for holdings associated with the BIB identified by that MMS ID

Additionally, the integrations allow a user to add new holdings, create a new BIB record if no MMS ID is present or the provided MMS ID does not match any BIB record in Alma, or sync changes to a Resource in ArchivesSpace with the BIB record uniquely identified by the Resource's MMS ID.

Aeon is a request management and workflow software system for archives and special collections.

There are currently three alternative plug-ins for ArchivesSpace to enable end users to order materials for viewingthey wish to view:

• One created by Atlas Systems which replaces the standard request button on resource or archival object pages with one that sends information about the record being viewed to the Aeon system.
• A version of the Atlas plug-in modified by the University of Maryland so that the request button is on the top - container pages, so that the details sent to Aeon are of the box.
• A different plug-in, developed by Hudson-Molonglo for Harvard University, which implements a shopping-basket-style request list in the ArchivesSpace PUI.

Additionally, there is an add-on for the Aeon client to allow staff to access view and import information from ArchivesSpace records when dealing with requests.
