ArchivesSpace Illinois Plugin

Overview

This plugin customizes ArchivesSpace to meet the specific needs of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Library.

Features

• University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign branding.
• Automatic EAD ID generation based on resource identifiers.
• Moves the Finding Aid Filing Title field after the Title field in the staff interface and relabels it as "Sort Title".
• Reconfigures "print_to_pdf_job" job types to permit concurrent execution based on the number of threads available to run background jobs (AppConfig[:job_thread_count]).
