StaffGuide: Aeon Information for Staff

This guide provides workflows for staff as they use Aeon in Special Collections.

Using ArchivesSpace Staff Interface to Locate Manuscript Container Locations

Aeon requests generated from the ArchivesSpace public user interface do not include location information for the top container. One option for locating location information is to use the ArchivesSpace staff interface.

Navigate to the ArchivesSpace staff interface and login.

Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, and select manage top containers.

Search by barcode or MC number. Tip: when searching by MC number, include quotations marks to get precise search results (example: "MC 703").

Scroll down to see the search results. Location information is located toward the right of the screen.

Copy and paste the location information into the Location/Collection Name field in the Aeon request. Save the request. The location will print on the call slip.
