Customizing the ArchivesSpace Public Interface: Some Simple How-Tos: ArchivesSpace’s public user interface (PUI) is a quick way to get started with making your materials web-accessible, but did you know that there are a number of easy customizations you can make to it, often with little or no development experience? In this session ArchivesSpace Tech Lead Laney McGlohon and Junior Developer Lora Woodford will walk through some ways you can get started on changing the look and feel of your PUI. Examples to be covered include deciding what should be included on the navigation bar, applying branding in terms of colors and logos, and enabling or disabling specific functionality.
