Integrations: Integrated Library Systems

Many ArchivesSpace institutions have very detailed archival data in ArchivesSpace but also maintain collection level records in their ILS. Additionally, some institutions store their holdings information for rare books and manuscripts in their ILS rather than ArchivesSpace. If one system could synchronize data to the other, there would be less opportunity for inconsistencies and less duplication of work.
