Hello, all,

This message may be of interest to those who use, or are considering, the 
aspace-import-excel plugin 
(https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel).

Tufts University Digital Collections and Archives is pleased to announce the 
release of a new version of the aspace-import-excel plugin, with the 
enhancements listed below. This work was funded by Tufts Digital Collections 
and Archives, with specifications and testing coordinated by Tufts Collection 
Management Archivist Adrienne Pruitt and all development work performed by 
Bobbi Fox.

Enhancements:

*         Ability to turn 'publish' off/on individually for all notes (if not 
filled in: default to resource's publish switch)

*         Ability to import agents in as creator, source, and subject, with all 
available relators, and not just as creators. (If empty/missing, default is 
'creator', as it is now)

*         Ability to add more agents per object by extending the spreadsheet

*         Ability to import more than one date per object

*         Ability for an archival object to have multiple physical instances

*         Ability for an archival object to have multiple extents

To take advantage of these features, you must use an extended version of the 
Excel Spreadsheet template.

There is extensive User Documentation describing use of the template and the 
new features.

This version is backward compatible; you may continue to use the original 
spreadsheet template for those occasions where your workflow doesn't need these 
enhancements.

The release can found at 
https://github.com/tufts-digital-collections-archives/aspace-import-excel/releases/tag/v3.0.1

In GitHub speak, this is a "fork" (deviation) from the original 
aspace-import-excel plugin maintained by the Harvard Library.

We have issued a GitHub "pull request" -- a request that these changes be 
integrated into the Harvard Library repository -- so that any further work be 
concentrated in one repository.  If that request is successful, another message 
will be sent. In the meantime, if you need technical help or notice a problem, 
please email [email protected].

Cheers,

Adrienne Pruitt, Tufts University Digital Collections and Archives
