Archives Sheet Bend: Integrating Archival Materials Into Primo VE

Back to Schedule Check-inYou can join session 5 minutes before start time.

Session Information

A sheet bend is an essential sailing knot, used to unite two ropes of different sizes. Similarly, SUNY Maritime's small but mighty team wanted to unite metadata records from the smaller archival repositories into Primo VE to create a true OneSearch experience for researchers. The vision was to make the college's archives materials more discoverable by piping in the finding aids, hosted by ArchivesSpace, and the digital objects, hosted by Collective Access, into Maritime's Alma/Primo installation. This presentation will cover the practical steps of supporting this integration, improvements made to the discovery interface to highlight the archives, and the impacts on patron usage.
