Digital Library in Summon

The first attempt at indexing Digital Library in Summon is now live. For instance search

“ursula bethel” and then limit by content type of archival material and photograph (looks like art went into that category which needs to be fixed).

or “zealand torts” and note facet to ‘archival material’

Library IT are working with MB to create item level records for archives from the inventories which would allow a EAD-like harvest which would improve searching for archives.

There are lots of issues that will need to be worked through over the coming months, but for the first time we have one place where all the Library material from Digital Library, the repository and the catalogue can be searched. Cheers, Anne
