[Yale ArchivesSpace] Improved finding aid view available for testing

[Detelich, Alicia]

Hi all,

On behalf of YAMS, I am writing to let you know that a number of improvements that the developers at Hudson Molongolo have been working on to improve the ‘Finding Aid View’ tab in Archives at Yale are available in the ArchivesSpace TEST PUI<https://puitestarchivesspace.library.yale.edu/>. Changes include:
                -Added drop-down menu which allows users to navigate to a particular series
                -Added ability to place a request from the finding aid view
                -Removed navigation tree from left side of page
-Improved display of component unique identifiers (i.e. series, accession numbers) – this actually will not be viewable in its entirety until the PUI is reindexed, but here<https://puitestarchivesspace.library.yale.edu/repositories/8/resources/10958/collection_organization> is an example.
                -Generally improved layout, fonts, jargon, accessibility, etc.

Please be aware that because the entire page now loads when you click on the Finding Aid View tab, larger finding aids may take a bit longer to appear. However, this change allows users to search the entire finding aid using CTRL-F, which is not possible in the current version.

We encourage staff to explore the new features and reply to this email with any feedback you may have. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Alicia
