| CDL-hosted ASpace test instance | We have a test instance of ASpace up! To be used to test out plugins before going live with them. We want to set up each UC library with an admin account, and you are welcome to create accounts for your staff Currently testing out the a plugin to generate accessions identifiers (See plugin documentation) One issue with the plugin is that the numbering counter is shared across all repositories in an instance – can be an issue if you have multiple repositories. Other plugin requests? We can test it out through this instance. | CDL send out instructions to access ASpace test instances, including admin account setup. Also to include caveats of the plugin based on current evaluation of it. | ||||
