Dear colleagues,

 

Please join me in extending congratulations to the ArcLight MVP project team. We have completed our eight-week work cycle to develop a minimum viable product to support discovery and delivery of archival materials using Blacklight, and have released ArcLight 0.1.1.

 

Our final, full demo video (~30 minutes) can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdNjEMOotRw

 

Our wind-down deck can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hqPn49-k4Q-8yiGRec09--LJ2OHoKbzUvba__2QNxwA/edit

 

The code for ArcLight, as well as documentation on how to get started can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/sul-dlss/arclight


Please join me in extending thanks to each of the team members:

·         Product owner: Mark Matienzo (Stanford)
·         Tech Lead: Jessie Keck (Stanford)
·         Developers: Darren Hardy (Stanford), Jessie Keck (Stanford), Gordon Leacock (University of Michigan), Jack Reed (Stanford), Camille Villa (Stanford)
·         UX Designers: Gary Geisler (Stanford), Jennifer Vine (Stanford)

In addition, please extend your gratitude to our great stakeholder team for their participation in the work cycle:

High-level features completed this sprint include:

 

·         Repositories and collections navigation
·         Searching: keyword and fielded searches; autocomplete; hit highlighting; facets; sorting; pagination
·         Default and compact search results
·         Collection-level and component-level detail views
·         Digital object linking and embedding using oEmbed and configurable viewers
·         Request management proof of concept integration


Future areas of work include:


·         Accessibility testing and user testing, and subsequent improvements
·         Further testing of indexing by the community
·         Full evaluation and refactoring of the indexing code
·         Determining integration requirements for indexing directly from ArchivesSpace
·         In-depth integration of request management systems (e.g. SUL Requests and Aeon)
·         A plan for Stanford-specific rollout and integration

 

We encourage you to continue testing ArcLight, either in a local install or using the demo site (https://arclight-demo.projectblacklight.org/), and to ask us questions or report any bugs as they arise. We appreciate any and all feedback you might have on the work we’ve completed during this work cycle as it will inform the future direction of our work on ArcLight.

 

Best,

Mark

Congratulations and a big thank you to all who worked on this, especially the Stanford crew who lead this effort through design and development. Mark, your coordination is very much appreciated. Participating in this was rewarding for Michigan. This is great progress!
